This can be unpleasant to the subject, requires more staff, longer procedural time, and higher radiation dose when compared to small bowel follow-through. The indications for enteroclysis are generally similar to small bowel follow-through. Barium suspensions such as diluted E-Z Paque 70% and Baritop 100% can be used.
The time taken for food to transit through the gastrointestinal tract varies on multiple factors, including age, ethnicity, and gender. [ 27 ] [ 28 ] Several techniques have been used to measure transit time, including radiography following a barium -labeled meal, breath hydrogen analysis, scintigraphic analysis following a radiolabeled meal ...

Small bowel transit time is normally 2.5–6 hours and is calculated from the time the pH increases by more than three units to the time it drops by more than one unit and is sustained for at least 30 minutes. This drop denotes the capsule's passage to the cecum. The colon transit period (normal is 59 hours or less) is calculated from the time ...
The small bowel feces sign is a radiological finding observed in radiological imaging studies, particularly in cases of small bowel obstruction. [1] It is characterized by the presence of particulate matter resembling fecal material within the lumen of dilated small bowel loops.
Lactulose is a carbohydrate that is not absorbed by humans. Lactulose is well known to measure oro-cecal transit time. [11] [1] [4] The mean oro-cecal transit time in normal healthy individuals is 70 to 90 minutes. [12] [13] [8] By 90 minutes, at least 50% of individuals would have delivered the lactulose dose to the colon. Approximately 90 to ...
Slow down in peristalsis or movement of food through the small intestine (an increase in the transit time) to increase the time available for nutrient absorption [4] Osteoporosis is a very common comorbidity in people with short bowel syndrome who are on parenteral nutrition, with an estimated prevalence of 57-67%. [4]
The need for imaging assessment of small bowel diseases comes from the limits of traditional endoscopy in evaluating ileum loops, as other modern techniques such as capsule endoscopy are not routinely performed as it is seldom available in most centers. Over the past several years assessment of small bowel diseases was performed by Barium ...
