37 Notes: For inflammatory bowel disease. Eg; Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis. Coverage is from top of stomach to pubis symphysis. Separate abdomen and pelvic aial slices with overlap for better signal, fat suppression, and decreased artifacts. Follow prep in Enterography protocol memo. Post LAVA/Fame sequences are for small FOV pelvis, adjust coil as needed Only for systems with abd/pelvic multi channel coil.

38 Patient prep Scheduling and Prep: Low-residue diet for 5 days before the procedure is ideal but not required, nor any other specific bowel prep. Prescriptions needed for eam is 20 mg Metoclopramide (Reglan) and 1 mg glucagon from the Referring MD. If pt is Diabetic glucagon is NOT administered Patients must fast for 6 hours prior to eam time. Pre-Eam Procedure: Patients need to arrive to the center at least 1 hour before the eam. Upon arrival, patient is to take 20 mg Metoclopramide (Reglan) orally. Patient is then given 1350 ml total (3-450 ml bottles) of Breeza (Oral contrast) to drink. 1 bottle is given at the time of arrival, and another 1 bottle minutes later. (Last bottle is reserved for just before the start of eam. Start of Eam: Glucagon 1 mg is administered intravenously for seconds to reduce bowel peristalsis.
