SPECT methods to measure gastric volumes. After 10 mCi i.v. of 99mTc-pertechnetate, tomographic images are obtained on a large field of view, dual-head -camera system. They are three-dimensionally reconstruced by using a specialized software (Analyze program). See details in the text.

Figure 2.
Examples of postprandial gastric images in participants from three groups: health, post-fundoplication and non-ulcer dyspepsia. Note the shape of the proximal stomach appears different in the participant with previous fundoplication; note also the overall reduction in gastric volume in the non-ulcer dyspepsia patient relative to the healthy control. However, the shape of the stomach in the patients with dyspepsia appears normal.
