GI transit was tracked at three time points by X-ray imaging while rats were under brief 5% isoflurane anesthesia to monitor: exit from stomach (4 h), small intestinal transit (9 h), and large intestinal transit (12 h). The metallic beads were visualized by X-ray, and the relatively opaque barium sulfate outlined the GI tract, enabling identification of bead location.
Ventral and right lateral views were taken using a portable X-ray unit (Porta 100HF 2.0kW High Frequency; Job, Yokohama, Japan) including a camera and digital cassette (Canon 55G DR sensor panel) in conjunction with a laptop computer (Lenovo ThinkPad W530) and image-viewing software (Lenovo ThinkPad W530). Image files (DICOM) were visualized using MicroDicom DICOM Viewer v8.7 (Simeon Antonov Stoykov, Sofia, Bulgaria).

GI transit was tracked at three time points by X-ray imaging under brief isoflurane anesthesia to monitor: exit from stomach (4 h), SI transit (9 h), and LI transit (12 h). The 12 h time point was carried out post-mortem. The metallic beads were visualized by X-ray and the relatively opaque barium sulfate outlined the GI, enabling identification of bead location. Ventral and right lateral views were taken using a portable X-ray unit (Porta 100 HF 2.0 kW High Frequency, Job Corporation, Yokohama, Japan) including: camera and digital cassette (Canon 55G DR sensor panel, Melville, NY, USA) in conjunction with a laptop computer (Lenovo ThinkPad W530, Morrisville, NC, USA). Image files (DICOM) were visualized using MicroDicom DICOM Viewer v8.7 (Simeon Antonov Stoykov, Sofia, Bulgaria).
