2009, Seminars in Nuclear MedicineCitation Excerpt :Indications for esophageal scintigraphy are as follows: Patients who cannot tolerate manometry or who have equivocal manometry results.17 Repeat measurements after an intervention or therapy
Pediatric Gastrointestinal Nuclear Medicine
2007, Seminars in Nuclear MedicineCitation Excerpt :Damage to the vagus nerve may occur during esophageal surgery, and consequently increase gastric emptying.42 Nonsurgical causes of rapid gastric emptying include Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, carcinoid syndrome, duodenal ulcer, and medications such as cisapride, metoclopramide, erythromycin and ondansetron.30 It was shown that the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection correlated with accelerated gastric emptying in forty-seven children with nonulcer dyspepsia.43

2006, Seminars in Nuclear MedicineCitation Excerpt :Condensed images have the advantage of summarizing the data in a single image. However, proponents of the composite image acknowledge the importance of always reviewing the cine images as a movie.11 In addition to analyzing regional transit, the total counts remaining in the esophagus after multiple swallows should be obtained to quantify esophageal emptying.
Accurate placement of the esophageal pH electrode for 24-hour pH monitoring using a combined pH/manometry probe
2000, American Journal of GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :However, there are controversies about tailoring of antireflux procedures, and, moreover, evaluation of esophageal peristalsis by standard manometry may not be accurate. It has been suggested that this should be done using 24-h ambulatory manometry (23, 24) or a scintigraphic methods (25, 26). In conclusion, 24-h pH monitoring using the combined pH/manometry probe provides a reliable evaluation of the LES, thus enabling accurate placement of the pH electrode.
