Gastrointestinal investigations
Nuclear medicine is essential in the investigation of functional gastrointestinal disease, which can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, constipation and diarrhoea. The diagnosis of gastrointestinal motility disorders can be challenging, often as patients’ symptoms can be vague and the causes can be multifactorial.
The nuclear medicine examinations we perform are all non-invasive and well tolerated by patients. In many cases, injections are not necessary.
