Liquid-Phase Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy

Liquid-Phase Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy is a medical test that measures how quickly fluids leave the stomach. A patient drinks a small amount of liquid containing a safe, radioactive material, which allows a special camera to track its movement. The test helps doctors assess if the stomach is emptying properly, which is important for diagnosing digestive issues like gastroparesis. It’s a safe, non-invasive procedure that provides valuable information about stomach function, guiding effective treatment.
