Optimizing the diagnostic power with gastric emptying scintigraphy at multiple time points
BACKGROUND Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy (GES) at intervals over 4 hours after a standardized radio-labeled meal is commonly regarded as the gold standard for diagnosing gastroparesis. The objectives of this study were: 1) to investigate the best time point and the best combination of multiple time points for diagnosing gastroparesis with repeated GES measures, and 2) to contrast and cross-vali...
متن کاملSmartPill Capsule for Assessment of Gastric Emptying – Comparison with Simultaneous Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy
BODY: Gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) using a radiolabeled solid-phase meal is currently considered the gold standard to detect gastroparesis. It is, however, performed in a variable manner at different institutions. A method to standardize gastric emptying using a low fat (EggBeaters) meal with imaging at 0, 1, 2 and 4 hours postprandially has been suggested (Tougas et al, Am J Gastro 2000...
متن کاملHow to Interpret Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy
Gastric emptying scintigraphy has long been the standard method for measuring gastric motility. Various methodologies for this study have been used including meal composition, patient positioning, instrumentation, frequency of data acquisition, study length and quantitative method. For accurate quantification, it is not important which method is in use, except that the methodology should always...
متن کاملA case of gastric duplication evaluated by gastric emptying scintigraphy.
Gastric duplications are relatively rare, and communication with the gastric lumen is extremely rare. A 67-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of recurrence of epigastric pain and fullness. An upper gastrointestinal contrast study revealed a double compartment stomach, with gastric duplication starting at the esophagogastric junction outside the greater curvature. Computed tomogra...
متن کاملThe added diagnostic value of liquid gastric emptying compared with solid emptying alone.
UNLABELLED The medical literature states that solid gastric-emptying studies are more sensitive for the detection of gastroparesis than are liquid studies; thus, liquid studies are rarely required. However, we have seen patients with normal solid but delayed liquid emptying. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether a study of clear liquid gastric emptying has added value for t...
