A purpose-designed neutral contrast agent to improve patient tolerance, bowel distention, and diagnostic outcomes in CT and MR enterography.
When it comes to CT or MR enterography, patient drinking compliance can make or break the study. To properly distend the bowel (especially the small intestine and terminal ileum) patients are often required to drink a large volume of fluid. The problem? Traditional contrast agents can be thick, unpleasant, and difficult to tolerate, leading to incomplete prep, poor distention, and limited diagnostic value.
That’s where Breeza Flavored Beverage for Neutral Abdominal/Pelvic Imaging provides a proven solution.
Purpose-Built for Enterography
Formulated specifically for abdominal and pelvic imaging, Breeza offers:
- Low viscosity (10.5cP) – easier and faster for patients to drink compared to traditional agents.
- Light lemon-lime flavor – well tolerated across adult and paediatric patients.
- Neutral contrast properties – remains in the bowel to promote uniform distention and clearer visualisation of the intestinal wall.
- Ready-to-use – no mixing or additives required, making it simple for radiology teams to administer.
Clinical Validation and Patient Satisfaction
Clinical studies, including those from the Mayo Clinic have demonstrated significant improvements in prep completion rates with Breeza. Patients consistently rated it higher in taste and willingness to repeat compared to standard solutions. In one study the need to place nasogastric tubes in paediatric patients dropped from 7% to just 1% when Breeza was used, while overall patient satisfaction and willingness to complete prep protocols increased significantly. These findings are echoed in other clinical settings, confirming Breeza’s value as a reliable, patient-friendly option for enterography.

Benefits for Radiology Teams
- More consistent bowel distention
- Higher rate of first-time diagnostic-quality scans
- Reduced need for repeat studies or invasive prep interventions
- Improved departmental efficiency and patient throughput
One Solution, Multiple Advantages
Breeza improves the overall patient experience by making the prep more tolerable, which in turn leads to higher completion rates and more consistent bowel distention. This results in diagnostic-quality imaging that reduces the need for repeat studies or invasive measures such as nasogastric tubes, particularly in paediatric patients. Suitable for both CT and MR enterography, Breeza delivers benefits for patients and clinical teams alike by supporting efficiency, comfort, and accuracy.
Improve Patient Compliance and Streamline Small Bowel Prep
With Breeza, radiology departments can stop relying on custom mixes, dilute barium, or water that compromise prep quality. Instead, they can use a purpose-designed, clinically validated beverage that improves compliance, imaging outcomes, and patient satisfaction.
