Abstract
The effect of different bowel preparations on residual fluid during compute d tomographic (CT) colonography was evaluated. Forty-two patients received either a polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution preparation or a phospho- soda preparation the day prior to CT colonography. The amount of residual f luid was calculated for each patient. On average, a phospho-soda preparatio n provided significantly less residual fluid than a polyethylene glycol ele ctrolyte solution preparation.
