Gastric Emptying Tests
Gastric emptying tests are diagnostic procedures used to assess how quickly food moves from the stomach to the small intestine. These tests, including scintigraphy and breath tests, help diagnose conditions like gastroparesis. Gastric emptying tests are crucial for understanding various gastrointestinal disorders and guiding appropriate medical treatments.
