Does the Capsule Method Increase the Accuracy of the Detection of Ger by Scintigraphy Technique?
Copyright: © 2023 Indian Journal of Nuclear Medicine..
Background: The scintigraphy technique is the most sensitive test for the detection of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Scintigraphy techniques employ two methods: the liquid method and the capsule method.
Aim: In this prospective study, we are trying to find out the efficiency of the capsule method for gastroesophageal reflux scintigraphy over the liquid method and to determine the ease of execution of the technique and the interpretation of the results.
Materials and Methods: A total of 65 symptomatic patients (age range: 7-71 years; mean age: 35.2 years) were included in the study. They were divided into two groups: group A, which included 18 patients who underwent the liquid method and Group B, which included 47 patients who underwent the capsule method. The average administered dose of 99mTc-labeled sulfur colloid was 11.1-18.5 MBq.
Results: The results showed that 45 (69.12%) of the 65 patients tested positive for GERD. Furthermore, 15 were positive in the liquid method and 30 in the capsule method. Grade III reflux was seen in 66.67% of patients, and 33.33% of patients with Grade II and I reflux were diagnosed using both methods.
Conclusion: Thus, in conclusion, we can say that both liquid and capsule methods are equally sensitive for the detection of low as well as high refluxate volumes.
