Introduction

The absorption and excretion of radiopharmaceuticals is still of interest in diagnostic of gastrointestinal diseases with nuclear-medicine investigations. In this chapter the most common methods of measuring absorption and excretion are discussed. The performance of the different tests and their standard values are described. Moreover the basic possiblities of measuring absorption and excretion and the needed measurement equipments are presented.
