OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare iohexol vs. diatrizoate as fecal/fluid tagging agents for computed tomography colonography (CTC) regarding examination quality. METHODS: Forty prospective patients (M:Fâ?â?3:17; 63â±â?1.6 years) received CTC using 50 mL (350 mgI/mL) oral iohexol for tagging. Forty other indication-matched, age-matched, and sex-matched patients who underwent CTC using 100 mL diatrizoate for tagging and otherwise the same technique, were retrospectively identified. Two groups were compared regarding overall examination quality, per-patient and per-segment scores of colonic bubbles (0 [no bubbles] to 5 [the largest amount]), and the volume, attenuation, and homogeneity (untagged, layered, and homogeneous) of the residual colonic fluid. RESULTS: The iohexol group demonstrated a greater amount of colonic bubbles than the diatrizoate group: mean per-patient scoresâ±âSD of 1.2â±â?.8 vs. 0.7â±â?.6, respectively (pâ?â?.003); and rates of segments showingââ¥âgrade 3 bubbles of 12.9 % (85/659) vs. 1.6 % (11/695), respectively (pâ?â?.001). Residual colonic fluid amount standardized to the colonic volume did not significantly differ: 7.2 %â±â?.2 vs. 7.8 %â±â?.7, respectively (pâ?â?.544). Tagged fluid attenuation was mostly comparable between groups and the fluid was homogeneously tagged in 98.7 % (224/227) vs. 99.5 % (218/219) segments, respectively (pâ?â?.344). Iohexol caused more colonic bubbles when used during cathartic CTC. Otherwise, examination quality was similarly adequate with both iohexol and diatrizoate. KEY POINTS: â?When used for tagging, iohexol caused significantly more colonic bubbles than diatrizoate. â?The residual colonic fluid amount did not significantly differ between iohexol and diatrizoate. â?The quality of fluid tagging was similarly adequate in both iohexol and diatrizoate.
