| Popis: | A prospective study is undertaken in order to demonstrate the ability of scintigraphy with a non compartmental analysis to quantitate the duodeno-gastric reflux. 24 patients have been examined, sitting in front of a gamma camera: 12 with an endoscopically proved reflux and 12 normal subjects or volunteers. About 15 min after an injection of 148 to 222 MBq 99Tcm-IDA they were given a meal labelled with 37 MBq 113Inm-DTPA. Images were recorded for 2 h. Equal size gastric and duodenal ROIs were selected over the duodenum and stomach, avoiding overlap with neighbouring organs. The reflux index based upon the occupancy principle is calculated from the gastric and duodenal curves. It is the ratio between the gastric and duodenal ROI IDA fluxes. The value of the reflux index is 3 +/- 1.8% in normal subjects and 45 +/- 33% in pathological cases. Our method, which does not require intubation, quantitatively evaluates biliary reflux independently of injected dose and hepatic or gallbladder function. |
