Delayed Gastric Emptying after Living Donor Hepatectomy for Liver Transplantation

Figure 3

Gastric emptying study for patient KS following intrapyloric botulinum toxin injection. (a) Gastric emptying was observed for 60 minutes with intermittent imaging. The region of interest is indicated at right by a line drawn around the activity within the stomach in the anterior view. (b) The emptying curves over 60 minutes (—solid; —dotted) are shown. The half-emptying time ( 1/2) was calculated using the geometric mean. Gastric emptying time was normal with 75% emptying over 60 minutes and a half-emptying time of 41 minutes.
