Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Flavoring Oral Contrast for MR Enterography

Brief Summary: To determine if patient satisfaction, participation, and image quality improves with flavored oral contrast for MR enterography.

Detailed Summary: Volumen is an oral contrast agent used in MR imaging of the bowel. It has an unpleasant taste which makes it difficult for pediatric patients, especially sick pediatric patients, to drink. There are other contrast materials used in the department that are flavored to improved patient participation. The investigators hope to determine a way to flavor Volumen to improve patient participation. In doing so, the investigators hope to also improve patient satisfaction as well as imaging quality.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • the number of patients that prefer flavored contrast [ Time Frame: one year ]
    the number of patients that prefer flavored contrast will be evaluated by a questionaire
  • bowel diameter measurements on MR Enterography [ Time Frame: one year ]
    bowel diameter measurements will be made by two radiologists on MR Enterography


Original Primary Outcome:

  • Pediatric patients preference of unflavored or flavored contrast as assessed by Palatability Questionnaire [ Time Frame: one year ]
  • imaging quality of MR Enterography with flavored contrast [ Time Frame: one year ]
    Cparing flavored and unflavored contrast determined by radioligist
