Overview
Both 2D and 3D transabdominal ultrasound is helpful in the diagnosis of gastroparesis. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of gastroparesis include prolonged distal and proximal gastric emptying T50, larger antral area, lower gastric emptying rate, fewer antral contractions.
Ultrasound
- There are no echocardiography findings associated with gastroparesis.
- Transabdominal ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of gastroparesis. Findings on an transabdominal ultrasound suggestive of gastroparesis include:[1]
- Prolonged distal and proximal gastric emptying T50
- Larger antral area
- Lower gastric emptying rate
- Fewer antral contractions
- The advantages of ultrasound include:
- Assessment of postprandial gastric motility after a liquid meal
- Inexpensive
- Widely available
- Noninvasive
- Operator dependent
- Radiation-free diagnostic modality
