Gastric Emptying (GE) Scintigraphy and its Impact on Pancreatic Cancer

Gastroparesis occurs when your stomach takes longer than usual to empty. Gastric Emptying (GE) scintigraphy is a routine diagnostic method for assessing Functional Dyspepsia (FD). The study's findings are frequently reported as either normal or delayed GE times. A pancreatic scan is a radiological test used to look for a specific type of tumour in the pancreas.
