GASTROGRAFIN CONTRAST MATERIAL

Gastrografin may be a liquid radiologic contrast material that absorbs x-rays due to its iodine content. It are often administered orally or rectally to spotlight the interior structure of the alimentary canal .
The preparation is especially indicated when a more viscous agent like barium sulphate , which isn't water-soluble, isn't feasible or is potentially dangerous.
Gastrografin is meant for investigation for the alimentary canal . It are often used either orally or as an enema. Gastrografin could also be of particular value within the following instances:
• Suspected partial or complete stenosis.
• Acute haemorrhage.
• Threatening perforation (peptic ulcer, diverticulum).
• Other acute conditions which are likely to need surgery.
• After resection of the stomach or intestine (danger of perforation or leak).
• Megacolon.
• Visualisation of a far off body or tumour before endoscopy.
• Visualisation of a gastrointestinal fistula.
• Before endoscopy.
Further indications:
• Early diagnosis of a radiologically undetectable perforation or anastomotic defect within the oesophagus.
• The treatment of uncomplicated meconium ileus.
• Computerised tomography within the abdominal region.
