A reproducible method for the measurement of gastric emptying by real-time ultrasound is described. Gastric emptying was assessed by determining the decrease of the stomach area of the ultra-sound images during 55 min after fluid uptake. For the purpose of "validation", the gastric emptying time of 3 liquid test meals with different effects on gastric motility were measured.
