Preferred Abstract (Original):
The purpose of this study was to compare different osmotic carbohydrate solutions (2.5% mannitol, 2.5% / 2.0% / 1.5% sorbitol) for small bowel MR imaging regarding image quality and patient acceptance. 12 healthy volunteers underwent each four MR examination after ingesting 1500ml of the different contrast solutions. While best distension values were observed after both the administration of 2.5% mannitol and 2.0% sorbitol, the use of sorbitol led to less side-effects and should therefore be recommended for small bowel MR imaging.
