Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of SPECT gastric mucosa imaging in the study of midgastric transverse band(MTB).
Methods SPECT gastric mucosa and gastric emptying imaging were performed in 45 healthy adults, and the image area and count/pixel ratio were statistically analyzed.
Results Significant differences were found between proximal and MTB, distal and MTB, whole stomach and proximal, whole stomach and distal count/pixel ratio. MTB was also observed in gastric mucosa imaging, and the MTB in gastric mucosa imaging indicated the same clinical significance as that of the MTB in gastric emptying.
Conclusions Gastric mucosa imaging can be used for qualitative determination, and alterations in the distribution of radionuclide indirectly reflect the changes in the gastric mucosal cells. MTB is a region that lacks gastric mucous cells; thus, this region is relatively weak in gastric receptivity dynamics.
