Summary
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 different99mTc-DTPA carriers were studied in healthy volunteers, compared with patterns found after ingestion of a fried egg incorporating99mTc-serum albumin. The results are described and discussed. They seem to suggest that there are different modalities of gastric emptying when different meals and markers are used.
