Colonic Transit Study
The colon (large bowel) is the portion of the bowl that connects the small bowel to the anus. The colonic transit study is a test used to investigate the function of the colon, and is most commonly used to assess the severity of constipation.
The colonic transit study takes five days to complete. The test starts on a Monday and finishes on Friday. On Monday you will have two appointments, one in the morning the other in the afternoon.
At the morning appointment you will drink a small amount of a meal replacement drink containing a very small amount of a radioactive tracer. You will need to come back at a set time every day for some images until the test is finished.
SmartPill Capsule-Based GI Testing
This is a crucial test in evaluating patients with gastrointestinal symptoms such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, and fullness.
It is pain-free and less invasive than most other GI procedures. Once the capsule is ingested, this device collects important information such as pressure, PH and temperature and transmits this data to a receiver the patient wears on a belt for a period of four days.
The physician then downloads the input to his computer and reviews the test results with the patient. This greatly facilitates the patient’s diagnosis and treatment plan without any discomfort or disruption of normal activities for the patient.
