  • Title: The use of effervescent agents in the small bowel meal examination.
    Author: Griffiths PD, Hufton AP, Martin DF.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1993 Oct; 48(4):275-7. PubMed ID: 8243008.
    Abstract:
    Some perceived disadvantages of the small bowel meal examination are failure of adequate distension, lack of a double contrast effect and the duration of the procedure. A new use for effervescent granules during the small bowel meal is described which reduces the examination time by 70% and reduces the radiation dose to the patient.
