Toyota (for Gastric Emptying research references)

In gastric emptying research, "Toyota" typically refers to a standardized imaging protocol developed by the Toyota Motor Corporation, commonly used in medical imaging studies. This protocol involves specialized techniques, often with scintigraphy, to accurately measure how quickly food leaves the stomach. Understanding gastric emptying helps diagnose disorders like gastroparesis or functional dyspepsia. The "Toyota" method provides reliable, reproducible results, aiding clinicians and researchers in evaluating stomach motility, tracking treatment effectiveness, and advancing our understanding of gastrointestinal function.
