Objective To compare the performances, tolerability and acceptability of mannitol and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as oral contrast agents in patients undergoing computed tomography enterography (CTE). Methods Patients aged 18‐75 years indicated for CTE were randomized to receive either mannitol or PEG...
