Covers a nuclear medicine study of the digestive organs, such as the stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder or spleen, when the study performed has no standard named entry of its own. A small amount of a radioactive tracer is given, and a special camera records where in the body it collects. The team performing it sets out in a written report exactly what was done.
