Nuclear Medicine Study Of Stomach And Small Bowel Emptying

Kansas rates for HCPCS 78265

This test tracks how quickly a meal containing a small amount of safe radioactive tracer moves out of the stomach and continues through the small intestine, using a special camera to follow the tracer's progress over time. It helps diagnose conditions that cause food to move too slowly or too quickly through the digestive system, such as gastroparesis. This version follows the tracer past the stomach and into the small bowel, not just measuring how long it takes to leave the stomach.
