Nonionic contrast media in gastrointestinal studies in newborns and small infants
Abstract:
Since January 1983, 431 patients were examined by oral or rectal application of nonionic contrast medium for gastrointestinal studies. The contrast medium was uniformly well tolerated, even by severely ill preterm babies and infants. We present a review of our experience and a list of indications for the use of nonionic contrast media in gastrointestinal studies. In addition, the urinary iodine concentration of eight patients was examined after oral application of nonionic contrast medium in order to evaluate the resorption of the substance.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
