Chronic functional gallbladder disorder, characterized by biliary pain in the absence of structural pathology, poses a diagnostic challenge necessitating reliable cholecystagogues for accurate evaluation. However, recurrent shortages of synthetic cholecystokinin analogs have prompted the exploration of alternative agents. This paper describes the efficacy of Ensure Plus as a viable fatty meal substitute for hepatobiliary scintigraphy in assessing chronic functional gallbladder disorder. Through comparative studies, Ensure Plus demonstrates comparable diagnostic accuracy to cholecystokinin in similar patient populations...

This study aimed to analyze the compliance of health care institutions with the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) procedure guidelines for gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES). Methods: A 19-question survey on demographics and the GES protocol was conducted using a Google form. The demographic questions covered position, number of technologists in the department, location, type of health care institution, and number of GES studies per month. The protocol questions included patient preparation, meal preparation, withholding of scheduled medications, radiopharmaceutical type, and radiopharmaceutical dose...

The aim of this study was to assess the rates of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus (DM) and pre-DM in patients undergoing gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES). Diabetes is an epidemic in the United States, and the disease is associated with altered gut motility. As a result, we suspected that a significant number of patients referred for GES may have undiagnosed DM or pre-DM. Given that established procedure standards for GES require all patients to prepare with an 8-h fast, an opportunity is provided to measure the fasting blood glucose (FBG) in all individuals before they undergo the examination...

The radionuclide gastric emptying study is the gold standard for the diagnosis of gastroparesis. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 510 patients to evaluate how often a diagnosis of slow gastric emptying determined by gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) changes clinical management at our institution. Results: We found evidence of gastroparesis in 100 patients. A change in management was recommended for 62% within 1 mo of the GES. Conclusion: Our results illustrate the importance of performing GES on patients with clinically suspected gastroparesis...

Gastric emptying studies are routinely performed in many nuclear medicine departments; however, there are many different techniques used to perform the procedure across the country. Creating consistency in clinical practice will aid gastroenterologists in diagnosing and treating illnesses associated with abnormalities related to gastric emptying. In 2017, Cincinnati Children's Hospital adopted adult standards for pediatric gastric emptying studies that included a standard meal along with imaging over the course of 4 h...

In 2009, the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging published a standardized protocol guideline for gastric emptying scintigraphy that contains specific instructions on the exact meal and preparation procedure. Previous research has shown that the standardized meal and proper preparation of the meal for gastric emptying scintigraphy are not being adopted by some facilities. This research explores the differences of radiolabeling in the method of preparation of 99m Tc-sulfur colloid (SC)-radiolabeled eggs...

Glucagonlike peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) are being increasingly used for glycemic control in patients with diabetes and for weight loss and weight management in obese subjects. There has been recent public awareness of the potential of GLP-1 RAs to delay gastric emptying and cause gastroparesis. By delaying gastric emptying, these agents can complicate the clinical evaluation of patients on these drugs by affecting diagnostic testing for gastroparesis. This article discusses GLP-1 RAs and their effects on gastric emptying, gastric food retention, and gastroparesis...

The use of medicinal cannabis has a long history dating back thousands of years. Recent discoveries have shed light on its mechanism of action with the identification of cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoids, which make up the body's endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoid receptors, particularly the cannabinoid 1 and 2 receptors, play a crucial role in modulating the gut-brain axis and serve as potential therapeutic targets for gastrointestinal motility and inflammatory disorders. With increasing legalization of cannabis and a rising number of users, understanding the effects of cannabis on gut motility is essential for nuclear medicine providers...

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is the most common GI diagnosis leading to hospitalization within the United States. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of GI bleeding is critical to improving patient outcomes and reducing high health care utilization and costs. Radiologic techniques including CT angiography, catheter angiography, CT enterography, MR enterography, nuclear medicine red blood cell scan, and technetium-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy (Meckel scan) are frequently used to evaluate patients with GI bleeding and are complementary to GI endoscopy...

Paget's disease of bone is a disorder of osteoclasts which hampers the physiological process of bone remodeling. It is the most common metabolic orthopedic disease in the Caucasian populace; we report the diagnosis of Paget's disease of bone in a South-Asian male in his early 50s with a history of gastrointestinal symptoms, weight loss and back pain. An alkaline phosphatase level of 1104 IU/L was noted. A 3-phase bone scan showed noncontiguous heterogenous nuclear uptake. After exhaustive evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with Paget's disease of bone...

INTRODUCTION: Primary and secondary studies are considered the two major research categories. In this study, we examined the scientific and social media impact of primary and secondary publication types in papers published radiological journals during 2010-2020. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed publication type tags were used to filter original articles and systematic review and meta-analysis (SR/MA) articles. Clarivate Web of Science was utilized to obtain a list of all radiology journals from the category "Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging" in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)...

INTRODUCTION: Zambia is experiencing a critical shortage of radiologists responsible for interpreting X-ray images. Nine radiologists serve the entire population of over 18 million people. Consequently, referring physicians can receive reports late and often receive X-ray images without radiological reports attached, which may lead to delayed diagnoses and treatment of critically injured patients. This challenge could be alleviated if radiographers could assist with interpreting X-ray images...

Imaging before 223 Ra-dichloride (223 Ra) therapy is crucial for selecting metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients with bone-only disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if baseline prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT (bPSMA) versus CT is associated with outcomes of 223 Ra therapy. Methods: A secondary analysis of the data of a prospective observational study (NCT04995614) was performed. Patients received a maximum of 6 223 Ra cycles and were retrospectively divided into the bPSMA or baseline CT (bCT) groups...

IMPORTANCE: Systematic reviews of medical imaging diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) studies are affected by between-study heterogeneity due to a range of factors. Failure to appropriately assess the extent and causes of heterogeneity compromises the interpretability of systematic review findings. OBJECTIVE: To assess how heterogeneity has been examined in medical imaging DTA studies. EVIDENCE REVIEW: The PubMed database was searched for systematic reviews of medical imaging DTA studies that performed a meta-analysis...
