Reduction of peristaltic artifacts on magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen: a comparative evaluation of three drugs

Abstract: Anticholinergic drugs significantly reduced the intensity of ghost artifacts on MR imaging of the abdomen. Twenty milligrams of oral dicyclomine is an effective and safe alternative to more expensive and parenterally administered drugs such as glucagon and butylscopolamine.

“…Técnicas como redução da média dos sinais e anulação do momento gradiente também podem ser úteis. E, finalmente, a administração de meio de contraste oral (agentes de contraste negativos), que diminui a intensidade de sinal do trato gastrintestinal, pode também reduzir estes artefatos (8) . Movimentos grosseiros do paciente podem ser reduzidos se conseguirmos diminuir sua ansiedade, o desconforto físico e o tempo prolongado de exame.…”

“…Ghosting and blurring could be noted with fluids affected by peristalsis and heart pulsation. Agents such as glucagon could be used to further reduce artifacts by suppressing peristalsis (14). Ghosting from pulsation of cerebrospinal fluid was occasionally present and could be effectively suppressed by means of a presaturation band over the spinal canal.…”

“…Peristaltic motion has been effectively reduced using various drugs such as oral dicyclomine and parenterally administered glucagon and butylscopolamine. 251 A significant improvement in the quality of abdominal images has been achieved by using fast techniques. For instance, high quality MR images of the GI tract have been obtained using a T 2 -weighted fast SE MR sequence with half-Fourier acquisition of data which allows image acquisition within a single breath-hold and is insensitive to peristalsis-related artefacts.…”
