An assessment of dynamic gastric scanning with 99Tcm-pertechnetate

Following intravenous injection, technetium‐99m (99Tcm) is selectively taken up by the stomach, and this uptake, which is stimulated by pentagastrin, may be quantified using a gamma camera. Using this property of 99Tcm as a means of assessing gastric function, we found that the mean rate of 99Tcm up...

Zusammenfassung:	Following intravenous injection, technetium‐99m (99Tcm) is selectively taken up by the stomach, and this uptake, which is stimulated by pentagastrin, may be quantified using a gamma camera. Using this property of 99Tcm as a means of assessing gastric function, we found that the mean rate of 99Tcm uptake was significantly greater in 24 duodenal ulcer patients than in 10 healthy controls (P
