Abstract:
We found incidentally the stomach filled with the material of high signal intensity on T1 weighted images. The material was a mixture of green tea and sodium alginate (drug for peptic ulcer). We proved that T1 and T2 were significantly shortened by the mixture in the experimental study. This was successfully used for the patients.
