The secondary aim was to compare CTC quality according to anatomical and patient variables (dolichocolon, colonic diverticulosis, functional and secondary constipation).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>One-hundred-eighty patients were randomized into one of three regimens where PEG was administered, respectively: in a single dose the day prior to (A), or in a fractionated dose 2 (B) and 3\u00a0days (C) before the examination. Two experienced radiologists evaluated fecal tagging (FT) density and homogeneity both qualitatively and quantitatively by assessing mean segment density (MSD) and relative standard deviation (RSD). Tolerance to the regimens and patient variables were also recorded.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Compared to B and C, regimen A showed a lower percentage of segments with inadequate FT and a significantly higher median FT density and\/or homogeneity scores as well as significantly higher MSD values in some colonic segments. No statistically significant differences were found in tolerance of the preparations. A higher number of inadequate segments were observed in patients with dolichocolon (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and secondary constipation (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01). Interobserver agreement was high for the assessment of both FT density (<jats:italic>k<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.887) and homogeneity (<jats:italic>k<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.852).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The best examination quality was obtained when PEG was administered the day before CTC in a single session.
