Advances in the Measurement of Gastric Motility: A Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The motility of the gastric smooth muscle is an intricate process influenced by a variety of endogenous biochemical modulators, including meal content, hormones, nerves, muscles, and functional resistance of the duodenum. Therefore, the present manuscript focuses to review the techniques employed to measure gastric motility. The contrivances used include the following; scintigraphy, positron emission tomography, single positron emission computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, stable isotope breath test, absorption kinetics of pharmaceutics and epigastric impedance. In conclusion, the breakthrough in biomedical engineering has revealed considerable details on gastric smooth properties that improve understanding of many unresolved or vague issues and has increased knowledge of pathophysiology of number gastric disorders.
