| Method |
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): "[Researchers] initiated a study with healthy subjects by using
water-sensitive T2-weighted MRI sequences to gain
information on the volume and the distribution of
intestinal fluid within the lumen of the gastrointestinal
tract." |
| Comments |
"In the fasting subjects the volumes of the intestinal fluid
in the colon were extremely variable with volumes
between 1 and 44 mL (Table 1). Pockets filled with fluid
were predominately observed in the caecal region, the
ascending colon and the descending colon. After the
meal, large intestinal fluid volumes varied between 2
and 97 mL (Table 1)." |
