- FIGURE 1.
Scattergram of half-times of emptying for oatmeal and scrambled egg, both labeled with 99mTc-sulfur colloid. Datum point at far right was determined to be an outlier on the basis of its location relative to those of other data points and differences in meal distribution within stomach on images. Correlation coefficient for half-times of emptying for oatmeal and scrambled egg in remaining 14 patients was 0.77 (P < 0.01).
- FIGURE 2.
Images from paired oatmeal and scrambled egg studies from patient who was determined to be an outlier. Images from oatmeal study showed rapid movement of meal from fundus into body and antrum of stomach. Images from scrambled egg study showed significant retention of meal in fundus of stomach.
