Lumentin®44 – A new standard in small bowel imaging

The first and only peroral agent to provide perfect negative contrast with CT imaging.

Lumentin®44 means enhanced efficacy and elevated patient acceptance 

Lumentin®44 is conveniently delivered in powder doses and prepared at the clinic.


Improves diagnostic quality 

Lumentin®44 provides outstanding air-saturated, water-based contrast facilitating both the demarcation of the small intestine and the detection of lesions in the bowel wall.


Saves time and resources 

Lumentin®44 enables using a CT scanner instead of the considerably more expensive and time-consuming MRI technology. Time savings are at least 50 percent during the examination itself.


Gentle to the patient 

Lumentin®44 is food-based, has good palatability, and a high safety profile. Allowing examinations that previously required MRI to be conducted in a CT scanner avoids much discomfort for the patient.


Increases accessibility 

CT scanners are much more common and available at more healthcare facilities than MRI units, making examinations and diagnostics more
accessible, thus facilitating early diagnosis.


Easy to prepare

Lumentin®44 comes as a powder in a pouch and is mixed with water to a drinkable foam at the clinic using a semi-automatic preparation unit. Preparation is ready in minutes.

It all started with an unexpected discovery…
In 2006, the two radiologists Thomas Fork and Ingvar Adnerhill discovered the potential to use liquid oat cream as a food-based negative contrast agent.
