The purpose of this article is to evaluate the efficacy IV hyoscine butylbromide as a bowel relaxant and automated carbon dioxide insufflation in CT colonography terms colonic distention perceived burden. SUBJECTS AND METHODS; Two hundred twenty-four participants were randomly allocated one four groups: control (no saline placebo before with manual insufflation), (IV examination combined (hyoscine insufflation). degree on 4-point scale, time, participants' satisfaction, measured by their responses questionnaire, assessed.The mean grades all segments both positions 3.22 group, 3.28 3.77 3.74 group. Compared insufflation, significantly improved clinical adequacy shortened time. No statistically significant difference was seen between who received those did not, or Overall, experiences not different.Colonic but administration butylbromide. tolerance similar each
