Trial Outcomes & Findings for Using Magnetic Resonance (MR) to Understand the Effect of Erythromycin on Bowel Motility (NCT NCT01379183)

NCT ID: NCT01379183

Last Updated: 2016-03-21

Results Overview

A Magnetic Resonance (MR) enterography procedure uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to obtain detailed images of the small bowel. MR images of the abdomen were acquired with a torso phased array coil and a 1.5 tesla magnet MRI. Gastric volumes were assessed with an axial 3D axial gradient echo sequence, which imaged the entire stomach in 13 seconds.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Approximately 60 minutes after beginning ingestion of fluid volume

The jejunum is the section of the small intestine between the duodenum and the ileum. A Magnetic Resonance (MR) enterography procedure uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to obtain detailed images of the small bowel. Small bowel volumes were evaluated with 5 mm thick coronal slices using a fat-suppressed true fast imaging with steady state precession sequence while the participant held his or her breath.

The Ileal is the terminal portion of the small intestine extending from the jejunum to the cecum. A Magnetic Resonance (MR) enterography procedure uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology to obtain detailed images of the small bowel. Small bowel volumes were evaluated with 5 mm thick coronal slices using a fat-suppressed true fast imaging with steady state precession sequence while the participant held his or her breath.
