Monitoring of stomach dyspepsia. False-colour computer enhanced gamma scan of the stomach of a patient with dyspepsia (indigestion) during tests to study its rate of emptying. Here,some hours after swallowing a radioactive fluid,the stomach (yellow,above centre) no longer contains radio- active fluid; this fluid has passed through into the intestine (lower centre),concentrated in red areas. This is the last image in a series (see: M140/120 and M140/121) that shows that the emptying of this stomach is normal. Dyspepsia or indigestion is a common term for a variety of eating and digestive disorders. It may be caused by incorrect diet,peptic ulcer,stress or disease,and can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. | |
