All patients were reassessed with MRI, using gadolinium chelate and intraluminal barium sulphate as contrast materials, followed by laparotomy to determine whether further treatment was required.

To enhance the visibility of areas of interest in an MRI image, contrast agents such as gadolinium are used. Gadolinium is paramagnetic, and it can alter the magnetic properties of targeted areas ...
