We have developed a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to measure intestinal volumes, transit, and motility in response to a laxative, Moviprep(®) . We aim to use these biomarkers to study the pathophysiology in IBS-C and FC. METHODS: Twenty-four FC and 24 IBS-C were studied. Transit was assessed using the weighted average position score (WAPS) of five MRI marker pills, taken 24 h before MRI scanning. Following baseline scan, participants ingested 1 L of Moviprep(®) followed by hourly scans. Magnetic resonance imaging parameters and bowel symptoms were scored from 0 to 4 h. KEY RESULTS: Weighted average position score for FC was 3.6 (2.5-4.2), significantly greater than IBS-C at 2.0 (1.5-3.2), p = 0.01, indicating slower transit for FC. Functional constipation showed greater fasting small bowel water content, 83 (63-142) mL vs 39 (15-70) mL in IBS-C, p < 0.01 and greater ascending colon volume (AC), 314 (101) mL vs 226 (71) mL in IBS-C, p < 0.01. FC motility index was lower at 0.055 (0.044) compared to IBS-C, 0.107 (0.070), p < 0.01. Time to first bowel movement following ingestion of Moviprep(®) was greater for FC, being 295 (116-526) min, compared to IBS-C at 84 (49-111) min, p < 0.01, and correlated with AC volume 2 h after Moviprep(®) , r = 0.44, p < 0.01. Using a cut-off >230 min distinguishes FC from IBS-C with low sensitivity of 55% but high specificity of 95%. CONCLUSION & INFERENCES: Our objective MRI biomarkers allow a distinction between FC and IBS-C. date: 2016-06 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/nmo.12784 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1113658 doi: 10.1111/nmo.12784 lyricists_name: Atkinson, David lyricists_name: Menys, Alex lyricists_name: Taylor, Stuart lyricists_id: DATKI13 lyricists_id: AMENY77 lyricists_id: STAYL70 full_text_status: public publication: Neurogastroenterology & Motility volume: 28 number: 6 pagerange: 861-870 event_location: England issn: 1365-2982 citation: Lam, C; Chaddock, G; Marciani, L; Costigan, C; Paul, J; Cox, E; Hoad, C; ...
