OR
There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- Transabdominal ultrasound is helpful in the diagnosis of gastroparesis. Both 2D or 3D ultrasound can be used to assess gastric emptying function. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of gastroparesis includes:
- prolonged distal and proximal gastric emptying T50
- larger antral area
- lower gastric emptying rate
- fewer antral contractions
