NOVEL METHOD OF USING TRIACETIN AND AUXILIARY AGENT FOR ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION

摘要

An agent in the form of a solid preparation soluble or suspendable in water or an aqueous solution characterized by containing at least one biocompatible component capable of suppressing gastric mobility such as triacetin, which is capable of transmitting ultrasonic wave to a target organ via the solution pooled in the body in a noninvasive examination (for example, an ultrasonic examination of an abdominal organ), identifying the area in which the solution exists, or clarifying the boundary of the solution and an organ in contact therewith, is employed as an auxiliary substance in the examination. Moreover, triacetin is widely usable as a gastric mobility suppressor.
