→Evaluation: +Transit time
*Reporting a "roughly estimated" diameter by dividing the measured intestinal diameter in the image and dividing it by a rather arbitrary factor of 1.2.
*Reporting a qualitative diameter of the intestine, which may be on a mild-moderate-severe scale. However, the measured diameter still needs to be adjusted for geometric magnification in order to be compared to numbers in the table at right.

Small intestinal transit time can generally be described as delayed if exceeding 6 hours from oral contrast intake to presence in the colon.<ref name="SzarkaCamilleri2012">{{cite journal|last1=Szarka|first1=Lawrence A.|last2=Camilleri|first2=Michael|title=Methods for the Assessment of Small-Bowel and Colonic Transit|journal=Seminars in Nuclear Medicine|volume=42|issue=2|year=2012|pages=113–123|issn=00012998|doi=10.1053/j.semnuclmed.2011.10.004}}</ref>
