  • Title: A comparison of dilute barium and dilute water-soluble contrast in opacification of the bowel for abdominal computed tomography.
    Author: Chambers SE, Best JJ.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1984 Nov; 35(6):463-4. PubMed ID: 6499385.
    Abstract:
    Dilute barium was compared with dilute water-soluble contrast medium as an oral preparation for abdominal computed tomography (CT). Patients generally preferred the barium to the water-soluble contrast medium. Both preparations opacified the bowel satisfactorily. Barium caused no streaking artefacts. Dilute barium is the preparation of choice for abdominal CT.
