    Author: Sandikcioglu TG, Torp-Madsen S, Pedersen IK, Raaschou K, Mygind T, Thomsen HS.
    Journal: Acta Radiol; 1994 Jan; 35(1):62-4. PubMed ID: 8305276.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-six adult patients clinically suspected of small bowel obstruction underwent small bowel contrast radiography with either barium sulfate or a nonionic low-osmolar contrast medium after randomization. Films were taken after 2, 4, and 8 hours and later when needed. No difference as regards visualization and diagnostic quality was found between the 2 media. It is concluded that a nonionic low-osmolar contrast medium is an alternative to barium sulfate for small bowel contrast radiography where small bowel obstruction is suspected.
