| Popis: | We have compared the 7-day retention of the radioisotope bile salt analogue SeHCAT (75Se-23-selena-25-homotaurocholate), by whole body counting and by uncollimated gamma camera measurement, in phantoms and in 25 patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The results correlate with a linear correlation coefficient of 0.96. An uncollimated gamma camera can be used to assess bile acid malabsorption when a whole body radioactivity monitor is not available. |
