چکیده

The study was undertaken to validate phantom-derived corrections for errors in collimation due to septal penetration or scatter, which vary with the size of the gastric region of interest (ROI). Six volunteers received 495 ml of 20% glucose labeled with both In-113m DTPA and Tc-99m DTPA. Gastric emptying of each nuclide was monitored by gamma camera as well as by periodic removal and reinstillation of the meal through a gastric tube. Serial aspirates from the gastric tube confirmed parallel emptying of In-113m and Tc-99m, but analyses of gamma-camera data yielded parallel emptying only when adequate corrections were made for errors in collimation. Analyses of ratios of gastric counts from anterior to posterior, as well as analyses of peak-to-scatter ratios, revealed only small, insignificant anteroposterior movement of the tracers within the stomach during emptying. Accordingly, there was no significant improvement in the camera data when corrections were made for attenuation with intragastric depth.

Technical Factors in Labeling Test Meals to Determine Gastric Emptying Rate

Objective: This study investigates the behavior of two different radionuclide labels for liquid test meals and the stability of radionuclide labeling of solid meals. Methods: Technetium-99m DTPA and mTc colloid were compared as labels for liquid test meals in an in vivo investigation of gastric emptying rate. Half emptying time and retention percentages were used as parameters. Stability of sol...

Measurement of gastric emptying during and between meal intake in free-feeding Lewis rats.

A new scintigraphic measurement technique is described that allows accurate assessment of gastric emptying in between as well as during a number of successive meals. Measurements were made every minute of food intake, gastric nutrient filling, and gastric emptying over a 6 h, 40 min period in conscious, free-feeding, loosely restrained rats. Before receiving access to the food, the animals had ...

Scintigraphic evaluation of gastric emptying after greater curvature plication in comparison with sleeve gastrectomy

Introduction: Laparoscopic gastric plication (LGP) is a relatively new restrictive bariatric procedure that emerged to avoid the problems and to reduce the cost of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In this study we present the initial short-term outcome of LGP and its effect on gastric emptying and compare it with the results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). <stro...

Simple clinical method of measuring gastric emptying of solid meals.

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 simple technique which uses a fixed scintillation detector and compared the results with those obtained from a gamma camera. The rates and patterns of gastric emptying recorded by the two methods correlated well in both healt...
