Summary
CT enterography has become an important tool in the evaluation of small bowel diseases,
especially in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. There are several shortcomings of
commonly used isotonic mannitol as an oral contrast agent, such as incident adverse reactions
and gases in the gut. However, polyethylene glycol can avoid these drawbacks with a good
performance in some pilot experiments.
