We used scintigraphy to detect and quantify gastro-esophageal reflux, and determined the sensitivity of this method for identifying patients with clinical symptoms and/or endoscopic evidence of reflux. Thirty gastrectomy patients with heartburn and regurgitation, and 8 healthy controls were studied. The gastro-esophageal reflux index, calculated from imaging data, correlated significantly with the symptom score of the subjects, and the index was significantly larger in the symptomatic patients group (7.07 +/- 1.21) than in the healthy control group (1.54 +/- 0.22) (p < 0.001). Our study suggests that scintiscanning is capable of detecting gastro-esophageal reflux accurately, rapidly, noninvasively, and with a high degree of sensitivity. In addition, scintiscanning can be employed to quantify reflux in gastrectomy patients.
我们采用闪烁扫描法检测并量化胃食管反流，并确定该方法对识别有临床症状和/或反流内镜证据患者的敏感性。研究了30例有烧心和反流症状的胃切除患者以及8名健康对照者。根据影像数据计算出的胃食管反流指数与受试者的症状评分显著相关，且该指数在有症状患者组（7.07±1.21）显著高于健康对照组（1.54±0.22）（p<0.001）。我们的研究表明，闪烁扫描能够准确、快速、无创且高度灵敏地检测胃食管反流。此外，闪烁扫描可用于量化胃切除患者的反流情况。
