OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate lactulose solution as a new oral contrast agent with the use of peroral CT enterography to determine the adequacy of luminal distention and conspicuity of the bowel wall.

CONCLUSION. Peroral CT enterography performed with lactulose solution is a simple and noninvasive method of evaluating the small bowel by obtaining good distention. It can also be used at routine abdominal examinations as a negative contrast agent instead of iodinated oral contrast medium, especially for CT angiography.
