The appropriate use of scintigraphy for studying gastrointestinal (GI) motility requires not
only an understanding of the normal physiology and pathophysiology of the various …

Because of the difficulty often encountered in deciding whether a patient's symptoms
originate in the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal transit scintigraphy is a …

Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders are common and cause either delayed or accelerated

OBJECTIVE: In a single noninvasive, quantitative test, whole gut transit scintigraphy (WGTS)
measures gastric emptying (GE), small bowel transit (SBT), and colonic transit (CT). The aim …

Gastrointestinal transit reflects overall gastrointestinal motor activity and is regulated by a
complex interplay between neural and hormonal stimuli. Thus, transit measurements …
