SF 6 is used as a contrast agent for ultrasound imaging. Sulfur hexafluoride microbubbles are administered in solution through injection into a peripheral vein. These microbubbles enhance the visibility of blood vessels to ultrasound.F 6 is used as a contrast agent for ultrasound imaging.

Once constipation (no bowel movement) has gone on for some time, the result can be what is known as an impacted bowel (sometimes called fecal impaction). Essentially, this means that a large lump of dry, hard stool is stuck inside your rectum.
Our bowel movements tell us a lot about our health. If they're good and painless, it means we're eating healthy, and doing the right things. If we're having badly formed bowels, constipation, experiencing straining, it means we need to adjust our diet and lifestyle, and maybe take laxatives.
