  		Fig. 1A —53-year-old man with left lower quadrant pain enrolled in milk arm of study. Transverse CT scan at level of antrum (arrow) and first two portions of duodenum (duodenum 1, arrowhead) after administration of whole milk and IV contrast material. Note excellent stomach and antral distention compared with duodenal distention.

  		Fig. 2A —47-year-old man with Crohn's disease enrolled in VoLumen (0.1% barium suspension, E-Z-EM Inc.) arm of study. Note bowel distention and mural visualization are comparable in Figures 1A, 1B, 1C and 2A, 2B, 2C. Transverse CT scan at level of antrum (arrow) and first two portions of duodenum (duodenum 1, arrowhead) after administration of VoLumen and IV contrast material.

Note bowel distention and mural visualization are comparable in Figures 1A, 1B, 1C and 2A, 2B, 2C. Transverse CT at level of third and fourth portions of duodenum (duodenum 2, arrow) after administration of VoLumen and IV contrast material.

Note bowel distention and mural visualization are comparable in Figures 1A, 1B, 1C and 2A, 2B, 2C. Transverse CT at level of jejunum (arrow) and ileum (arrowhead) after administration of VoLumen and IV contrast material. Note pericecal inflammation associated with active colitis in this patient with Crohn's disease (thin arrow).

  		Fig. 3 —29-year-old woman with chronic abdominal pain enrolled in VoLumen (0.1% barium suspension, E-Z-EM Inc.) arm of study. Coronal reconstruction of CT performed after administration of VoLumen and IV contrast material shows excellent overall distention.

  		Fig. 4 —53-year-old woman with right lower quadrant pain enrolled in milk arm of study. Coronal reconstruction of CT performed after administration of milk and IV contrast material shows excellent small-bowel distention. Ileal distention and visualization are comparable to distention and visualization seen in Figure 3, and jejunal distention and visualization are slightly better than distention and visualization shown in Figure 3.
