Assessment of gastric dysmotility using standardized Tc-99m sulfur colloid-labeled rice cakes in diabetic patients

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common lifestyle disease where patients suffer from gastric dysmotility, which is usually underdiagnosed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of Tc-99m sulfur colloid-labeled meal gastric emptying scintigraphy in Type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: A t...

Description
Summary:Background: Diabetes mellitus is a common lifestyle disease where patients suffer from gastric dysmotility, which is usually underdiagnosed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of Tc-99m sulfur colloid-labeled meal gastric emptying scintigraphy in Type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: A total of 43 patients and 30 controls, satisfying the inclusion criteria from March 2019 to August 2020, were included. Serial planar images were acquired in both anterior and posterior projections for an iso-time of 1 min at 1 min, 60 min (1 h), 120 min (2 h), and 240 min (4 h) after consumption of Tc-99m SC-labeled idly (rice cakes). The gastric emptying was considered delayed if there was
