6 of the 24 markers are retained on day 5, located within the descending and sigmoid colon.
Case Discussion
There are numerous variations in how a colonic transit study is conducted and how the findings are interpreted. Twenty-four markers are ingested in this case, and abdominal x-rays are taken 1, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours later.
If 24 rings are used, then <5 rings should be present in five days.
