gastric emptying scans

14 August 2022 at 02:03 (2 years ago)

I am requesting data on the number of nuclear medicine scintigraphic gastric emptying scans performed annually over the past decade.

Opening this data would solve the problem of…

knowing if there is an increase in scans and assessing the need for standardising protocols.
