SITZMARKS Radiopaque Markers & Transit Tests

Streamline GI Testing With SITZMARKS Radiology Equipment

MXR Imaging provides SITZMARKS radiopaque markers, a trusted diagnostic tool for evaluating colonic transit time and bowel motility. As a leading medical imaging distributor, we offer this non-invasive method to help healthcare providers identify the underlying causes of chronic constipation and various gastrointestinal disorders. By utilizing a simple capsule-based protocol, clinicians can visualize transit patterns and determine the most effective treatment plans for their patients.

Simplified Clinical Workflow For Transit Testing

The SITZMARKS system is designed for clinical efficiency and high diagnostic yield. The process follows a straightforward workflow that integrates easily into standard radiology or GI practice:

Ingestion: The patient swallows a single gelatin capsule containing the radiopaque markers.
Standard Activity: The patient maintains their usual diet and daily routine throughout the test period.
Visualization: A single abdominal X-ray is typically taken on day five to track marker location and dispersion.
Analysis: The clinician evaluates the X-ray to determine transit time and identify specific motility patterns.

Optimize Patient Comfort & Diagnostic Accuracy

SITZMARKS markers offer significant advantages for patient comfort and compliance. Unlike invasive motility studies or intensive procedures like manometry and colonoscopies, SITZMARKS provides a gentle diagnostic path. The test requires no specialized preparation, sedation, or recovery time, allowing patients to continue their lives without interruption while providing providers the data needed for an accurate diagnosis.

Target Motility Issues & GI Conditions

The SITZMARKS transit time test is a recognized standard for diagnosing functional bowel issues. Whether managing adult patients with chronic concerns or pediatric patients requiring specialized care, the SITZMARKS product line at MXR offers configurations to meet every clinical need. These diagnostic markers assist in identifying various conditions, including:

Bowel obstruction and hypomotility
Colonic inertia
Chronic constipation and functional outlet obstruction
Diverticular disease
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Hemorrhoids
