This study was performed to evaluate and optimize a small bowel contrast technique using barium and methylcellulose in dogs. Ten healthy dogs underwent both a conventional upper gastrointestinal study that used only barium and a modified study that used barium and methylcellulose. The control group received 10 mL/kg of 40% barium suspension. Experimental groups were divided into three subgroups given 15 mL/kg of different viscosities (low, moderate, and high viscosity) of 0.5% methylcellulose after 4 mL/kg of 40% barium suspension. Compared with the control group, dogs receiving methylcellulose had higher-quality upper gastrointestinal studies. Moderate viscosity of methylcellulose was superior to the other methylcellulose groups. In conclusion, the use of methylcellulose is a simple and effective method for improving the image quality in an upper GI examination.
本研究旨在评估并优化犬类使用钡剂和甲基纤维素的小肠造影技术。十只健康犬分别接受了仅使用钡剂的传统上消化道检查以及使用钡剂和甲基纤维素的改良检查。对照组接受10 mL/kg的40%钡剂混悬液。实验组分为三个亚组，在给予4 mL/kg的40%钡剂混悬液后，分别给予15 mL/kg不同粘度（低、中、高粘度）的0.5%甲基纤维素。与对照组相比，接受甲基纤维素的犬类上消化道检查质量更高。中等粘度的甲基纤维素优于其他甲基纤维素组。总之，使用甲基纤维素是提高上消化道检查图像质量的一种简单有效的方法。
