MRI of the small bowel has emerged as primary radiological examination tool in many departments (1). To gain wider clinical acceptance for small bowel MRI, the features of non-invasiveness have to be retained. Thus, distending contrast liquids will need to be administered orally without prior duodenal intubation (2). A sufficient distension of the terminal ileum and the iliocecal region is crucial since most inflammatory pathologies are located in these regions. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the administration of an additional rectal enema increases image quality and results in a better distension of small bowel segments.
