  • Title: Echoplanar imaging in GI clinical practice: assessment of gastric emptying and antral motility in four patients.
    Author: Marciani L, Young P, Wright J, Moore RJ, Evans DF, Spiller RC, Gowland PA.
    Journal: J Magn Reson Imaging; 2000 Aug; 12(2):343-6. PubMed ID: 10931599.
    Abstract:
    Gastric emptying, frequency of antral contractions, and speed of antral contraction propagation were assessed in four patients using echoplanar imaging techniques. The results obtained and their impact on the diagnosis and management of the patients are presented and discussed. This shows that echoplanar evaluation of gastric function is noninvasive, well-tolerated by patients, detects clinically relevant abnormalities, and has the potential of becoming a valuable examination in the clinical gastrointestinal practice.
