ObjectiveTo examine whether no anisodamine injection before CTE was feasible without impairing image quality and diagnostic performance.MaterialsThe change of mural thickness and luminal diameter were compared between using and no using anisodamine. The diagnostic performance of small-bowel disease was analyzed and compared.ResultsNo motion artifact was detected in two groups. There was no significant difference regarding the change of luminal diameter and mural thickness (all P>0.05). The diagnostic accuracy of small-bowel disease was no significant difference (P=0.63).ConclusionLack of anisodamine injection before CTE did not impair image quality and diagnostic performance compared with CTEs performed with anisodamine injection.
