Abstract
Adequate distention of the gastrointestinal tract is essential for the best quality image in abdominal computed tomography. We introduce a new techniq ue for per-rectal administration of contrast material with the use of an au tomatic injector. With this technique, more contrast material can be insert ed and thus adequately distend the colon, including the proximal colon.
