Abstract
Upper gastrointestinal contrast studies were performed to compare the quality of images using two different commercialized barium products in 10 healthy beagle dogs of each group; 30% barium suspension in group 1, and 35% dilute barium suspension in group 2. Contrast media were administered through gastric tube at a dose rate of 10 ml/kg in all groups. All procedures were evaluated by three criteria: the quality of the images obtained, the transit time and the distensibility of the bowel. The imaging in group 1 showed good image quality, a rapid transit time, and good distensibility of bowel loop.
