Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore how different stomach shapes observed in gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) relate to gastric emptying speeds, body weight, and GI symptoms.
- Researchers reviewed 397 GES studies, identifying five stomach shapes: crescentic, J-shaped, reversed-L, cylindrical, and bag-like, with crescentic being the most common.
- Findings revealed that crescentic stomachs had the highest body mass index (BMI), while bag-like stomachs showed the slowest gastric emptying and more severe regurgitation and heartburn symptoms.
