Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
Breath Test
After ingestion of a meal containing a small amount of isotope, breath samples are taken to measure the presence of the isotope in carbon dioxide, which is expelled when a person exhales. The results reveal how fast the stomach is emptying.
The SmartPill wireless motility capsule (WMC) system
- The SmartPill is a small device in capsule form that can be swallowed and collects information from the gastrointestinal tract.[1]
- It assess both regional and whole gut transit by measuring temperature, pH, and the pressure of its immediate surroundings.[2]
- It is used to evaluate suspected delayed emptying in gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia by measuring transit time in the stomach, small intestine, and colon.
Electrogastrography
- Electrogastrography is used to evaluate gastric electrical activity.[3][4]
- Electrogastrography is useful for differentiating gastroparesis from functional dyspepsia by identifying underlying myoelectrical activity.
