The use of a new radiopharmaceutical, 97Ru-DISIDA, and of 99Tcm-sulphur colloid for the simultaneous evaluation of duodenogastric reflux and gastric emptying

Nucl Med Commun. 1992 Feb;13(2):76-81.

Abstract

There is no consensus or a uniform technique for measuring gastric emptying and numerous modalities have been reported. We report here the results obtained using a modification of the published techniques for the simultaneous measurement of duodenogastric reflux and gastric emptying utilizing simultaneously the recently developed radiopharmaceutical 97Ru-DISIDA, intravenously, and the oral administration of 99Tcm-sulphur colloid incorporated in a 'solid' test meal.
