Radionuclide imaging in morbid obesity

  • 1. Columbia Univ. College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY

Description

Radionuclide studies of the upper gastrointestinal tract have been useful in many gastrointestinal disorders. However, the literature relating to radionuclide techniques in morbid obesity is limited and, at times, controversial. It is hoped that this brief review will stimulate interest in the use of tracer techniques in this complex disorder. 23 references
