Relationship between severity of clinical symptoms and delay in gastric emptying in chronic gastritis; studied with 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy.
The gastric emptying time is studied with 99mTC-DTPA-labeled mixed meal in 18 patients with chronic gastritis, all confirmed by endoscopic examination and biopsy. Emptying was slow in all such patients, but the intensity of symptomatology showed no correlation with gastric emptying half time.
