Introduction: Advancements in scintigraphic gastrointestinal motility testing that were developed, validated, and replicated in clinical practice at Mayo Clinic have significantly enhanced our understanding and management of gastrointestinal motility disorders. Importantly, normative values in at least 100 healthy controls and estimated inter- and intra-individual coefficient of variation for all parameters have been published for these tests.
Areas Covered: This article reviews methodology, accuracy, reproducibility, and diagnostic cutoffs of scintigraphic techniques for measuring gastric emptying, gastric accommodation, and colonic transit, comparing methods from Mayo Clinic with those used elsewhere when appropriate.

Purpose: While early diagnosis is crucial, as new treatments can significantly slow the progression of the disease, there is growing evidence on the application of novel imaging techniques for detecting transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) in pre-symptomatic stages. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of pre-symptomatic scintigraphic imaging cascade screening for early detection of ATTR.
Methods: During the period from 2020 to 2024, we conducted a prospective study that enrolled 100 consecutive adults.

Post-infarction heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients often face persistent risks of sudden cardiac arrest leading to sudden cardiac death. While implanting a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) can enhance prognosis, complications and costs limit its widespread use. Current patient qualification criteria, relying on imperfect parameters, require refinement.
