13. Development of nuclear medicine methods for gastric and small bowel motility : effects of GLP-1 on gastric emptying
Abstract : The diagnosis of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract requires techniques being both sufficiently sensitive to detect disturbances of the normal physiology and low-invasive enough not to interfere with the properties being studied. The purpose was to set up nuclear medicine methods for assessment of upper GI tract motility and study the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on gastric emptying. READ MORE

Abstract : The use of ferrimagnetic material as a tracer represents a noninvasive approach in physiological measurements. Concerning the lung, magnetopneumography, MPG, is a unique technique to estimate retained dust in the lung, using the magnetizable dust fraction as a tracer. First a strong constant magnetic field is briefly applied to the thorax. READ MORE
