Accurate reproducible measurements of the rate of gastric emptying have only been
possible since the advent of external radionuclide detection techniques. Indium-113m and a …

The radioisotope techniques used for the measurement of gastric emptying of solid meals in
man require complex and expensive scintiscanners of cameras. We have evaluated a …

Gamma scintigraphy was used to measure the gastric emptying rates of three test meals in
human volunteers. Emptying rates were determined for solid and liquid materials alone, and …

A resurgence of interest in gastric emptying has developed, due mainly to its possible
aetiological significance in gastric ulceration. Many techniques have been used to measure …

Most methods of measurement of gastric emptying rely on the serial estimation of intragastric
volume and do not separately account for the volume of fluid which has been added to the …

Scintigraphic methods for liquid and solid gastric emptying were utilised to study normal
patterns in 21 volunteers. Of these, 19 had solid emptying studies and 14 had liquid …

The suitability of a radiopharmaceutical for measuring gastric emptying time of solid meal is
described. The gastric emptying T½ value of solid meal in normal individuals has been …

A comparison was made of two techniques to measure the rate of gastric emptying. A
noninvasive scintigraphic technique using a gammacamera and an invasive aspiration …

Simultaneous measurements of the gastric emptying rate of the solid and liquid phase of a
dual-isotope-labeled test meal were made using a gamma camera and a simple scintillation …

Gastric emptying is one of the most important motor functions in the gastrointestinal tract. It
limits the rate of absorption of nutrients and drugs by controlling delivery into the small …
