Forskning

Hasse Abrahamsson och Simeon Antov, forskare vid Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset, utvecklade principen för Transit-Pelletsmetoden™. Transit-Pelletsmetoden™ är internationellt välkänd som Abrahamsson Method. Nedan presenteras exempel på betydelsefulla studier.

Nedan presenteras exempel på betydelsefulla studier, barn och ungdomar

I jämförelse med andra metoder konkluderade Wagener et al (2004) och Vande Velde et al (2013) att Abrahamsson Method är den lämpligaste metoden vid kolontransitundersökning för barn och tonåringar.
