Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Traditional high-contrast oral agents like iodine solutions, and barium suspensions which due to overcorrection problems in PET-CT interpretation lowers the accuracy of diagnosis. Negative oral contrast agents like water, air, fat containing agents used with 12.5% corn oil and polyethylene glycol has been used in radiological studies. Milk with 4% fat content has also been tested out in radiological studies and found to be effective. As it is more easily available, palatable, and acceptable especially, by children it needed to be tested in the visualization of the GIT in the PET-CT studies compared to other negative contrast agents.
