Technetium-99m labelled bran: a new agent for measuring gastric emptying

S Sagar et al. Clin Radiol. 1983 May.

Abstract

Bran was labelled with 99mTc-pertechnetate, ingested as part of a normal meal and used to measure gastric emptying in 15 normal subjects and in 15 patients with ulcerative colitis. There was no significant difference between the gastric emptying curves of the normal subjects and the patients, suggesting that rapid gastric emptying does not contribute to diarrhoea in ulcerative colitis.
