Abstract:
Small bowel magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been clinically implemented for many years, albeit with variation in study technique. Considerable research has been performed during this time regarding optimum patient preparation, choice of enteric contrast medium, and MR imaging sequence protocol but findings have not been universally implemented. However, evidence-based consensus statements have recently been published from the United States and Europe. This article summarizes key findings from this guidance and presents practice examples from the authors' own institution.

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...
