ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the applied value superparamagnetic Ferric Oxide oral contrast agent in the dignosis of MR forstomach.Methods Ferric Oxide Suspension was administered before MR scanning of stomach in 36 cases,ranged in age form 21 to 60 years old.MR findings were analysed.Results The fullness of stomach was 100% after administration of Ferric Oxide Suspension.Stomach canal appeared as negative contrast in all MR sequences,the relation between lesions in stomach and around tissue were clearly showed.During MRCP,it could restrict the high signal in stomach canal.Conclusion Oral Ferric Oxide Suspension as contrast agent during MR examination of stomach is easily accepted by patients,it is a safe and steady negative contrast agent for gastrointestinal MR examination.
