GE Reflux Scintigraphy in Hyderabad | Focus Diagnostics

What Is GE Reflux Scintigraphy?

GE Reflux Scintigraphy is a nuclear medicine imaging test used to evaluate gastroesophageal reflux, a condition in which stomach contents flow back into the oesophagus. The scan uses a small amount of radiotracer and a specialised gamma camera to observe reflux under the prescribed testing protocol.

Why Is GE Reflux Scintigraphy Recommended?

• To evaluate suspected gastroesophageal reflux when clinically indicated.
• To observe the movement of stomach contents towards the oesophagus.
• To support the assessment of reflux-related symptoms.
• To provide additional diagnostic information alongside clinical evaluation and other investigations.

How Is the Test Performed?

A radiotracer is administered according to the nuclear medicine team's protocol, often with a prescribed meal or liquid. A gamma camera captures images over a specified period to assess the movement of the tracer and identify evidence of reflux. The procedure depends on the patient's age, clinical indication and testing protocol.

Preparation for GE Reflux Scintigraphy

• Follow the fasting instructions provided by the diagnostic team.
• Inform your doctor about current medicines and relevant medical conditions.
• Ask whether any specific food or liquid is required for the procedure.
• Follow all instructions given by the nuclear medicine department.
