A study of gastric kinetics (comparison between different isotope carriers).
From the various investigations of gastric emptying described in the literature, radionuclide labelling of meals appears to provide the most suitable technique. The emptying patterns of different 99mTc-DTPA carriers were studied in healthy volunteers, compared with patterns found after ingestion of a fried egg incorporating 99mTc-serum albumin. The results are described and discussed. They seen to suggest that there are different modalities of gastric emptying when different meals and markers are used.
