Gastric emptying scintigraphy gold standard • 99mTc-sulfur colloid in eggs (solid meal) - • Half-empty time (solid meal,60土30min; liquid meal, 30土15min) • Gastric outlet obstruction or function obstruction, DM gastroparesis, s/p vagotomy, gastrinoma… • Follow up and evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment.

OBT vs Scintigraphy Ghoos et al Gastroenterology 1993 = excellent correlation Choi et al Gastroenterology 1997 = poor correlation From 2000…… = good correlation Delbende B, Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol, 2000
Intra-individual variability Perri* et al 17% (2010) (1993) (1997) (2000) *Perri F, Dig Liv Dis, 2010
Criticisms concerning OBT metabolism In a large patient cohort (1279) cumulative 4h-13CO2-excretion is only marginally influenced by patient characteristics and diseases with theoretical impact on absorption and/or postabsorptive metabolism of 13C-octanoic acid Keller J, NeuroGastroenterol Mot, 2009

Clinical impact The association of delayed emptying with specific symptoms is relatively weak Gastric emptying tests do not yield a high diagnostic specificity With few exceptions, most studies have failed to demonstrate a correlation between the severity of delayed emptying and prokinetic therapy An initial treatment approach should be required before performig gastric emptying test In refractory patients or in those with symptoms that impair nutritional status or the ability to function normally, assessment of gastric emptying may play a pivotal role Tack J, Best Pact Res Clin Gastroenterol, 2009
Conclusions • Several recommended tests to assess gastric emptying are available • The clinical impact of these tests is yet uncertain • A pivotal role may be played in refractary patients and in the impairment of nutritional status
