Description
In ten healthy subjects final gastric emptying of solid food was measured by a new scintigraphic mehtod, employing 99mTc labelled pellets, and compared to a radiologic method, employing food with incorporated barium suspension. Final gastric emptying of solid food, measured by the scintigraphic technique, was 5.2 hours and with the radiographic technique 5.5 hours, with no significant difference. It is concluded that significant information concerning gastric emptying of solid food can be obtained by the radiological method. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
An 10 Normalpersonen wurde die vollstaendige Magenentleerung von fester Nahrung mittels einer neuen szintigraphischen Methode gemessen, indem 99mTc-markierte Kuegelchen verabreicht wurden und diese Methode mit einer radiologischen verglichen, wobei Nahrungsstoffe gemischt mit einer Bariumsuspension verabreicht wurden. Die endgueltige Magenentleerung von fester Nahrung, gemessen mit der szintigraphischen Methode, betrug 5,2 Stunden und mit der radiologischen 5,5 Stunden, d.h. ohne signifikanten Unterschied. Es wird daraus geschlossen, dass eine treffsichere Information hinsichtlich Magenentleerung von fester Nahrung mit der radiologischen Methode erzielt werden kann. (orig.)Additional details
