Figure 1 | Representative examples of gastric emptying as assessed using scintigraphy. Standardized scintigraphic study of gastric emptying of solids with consumption of a 320 kcal radiolabelled meal (scrambled eggs labelled with 99mTc; Mayo Clinic protocol30) and imaging over 4 h. In the individual with normal gastric emptying (GE) (left panel), large amounts of the meal are emptied from the stomach at 2 h, and GE is completed at 4 h. In the individual with delayed GE (right panel), gastric retention of the test meal at 2 h and particularly at 4 h is increased (normative values were determined from 319 healthy volunteers; clinically relevant delayed GE is defined as a percentage retention >75% at 2 h and >25% at 4 h)30.
