A simple scintigraphic method for continuous monitoring of gastric emptying

Abstract: A new and simple scintigraphic method for the measurement of gastric emptying was developed and validated. The test meal consists of 200 g potato mash mixed with 0.5 g Dowex 2X8 particles (mesh 20-50) labelled with 37 MBq (1 mCi) technetium-99m. After ingestion of the meal, sequential dynamic 15-s anteroposterior exposures in the supine position are obtained for 90 min. A second recording sequence of 20 min is added after a 30-min interval. The results can be displayed as immediate cine-replay, as time-activit… Show more

“…Isotopic gastric emptying protocol [7] The patients were fasted overnight before the study which was performed following a semisolid meal of 200 ml potato mash mixed with dowex particles labelled with technetium-99 m (99mTc). During the whole of the gastric emptying procedure, patients were maintained on intravenous insulin and glucose infusions, to keep their blood glucose levels between 5 and 10 mmol/l, and in only one instance, blood glucose brie¯y reached 14 mmol/l.…”

“…Das ursprünglich für die Ösophagusfunktionsdiagnostik entwickelte Verfahren zur Erstellung kondensierter Bilder (16,24) (23). Greift man alternativ auf semiliquide Speisezubereitungen zurück, lassen sich Entleerungsstörungen mit ähnlich hoher Sensitivität (23) bei wesentlich kürzerer Untersuchungszeit nachweisen (17,18,24). Flüssigkeiten weisen dagegen eine geringere Nachweisempfindlichkeit für Entleerungsstörungen auf (7,8).…”

“…Significantly higher VEGF levels were observed in the ocular fluid of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) than in that of patients with quiescent diabetic retinopathy or background retinopathy, suggesting that VEGF is also an important factor affecting intraocular angiogenic diseases (2,3).
