Gastrointestinal Imaging

Imaging of the gastrointestinal tract is very useful for research and clinical studies of patients with symptoms arising from the gastrointestinal tract and in visualising anatomy and pathology.
In gastrointestinal imaging, a small amount of radioactive material is introduced into the body, and a special camera records the movement and uptake of the radiotracer within different organs of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The resulting images provide information about these organs and the function of our digestive system. This should not be performed in pregnant or breastfeeding women because of possible risks to the fetus or infant.
