ABSTRACT
The paper is concerned with analysis of a method of dynamic esophageal scintigraphy modified by the authors for diagnosis and control of therapy of reflux esophagitis combined with duodenal ulcer in 33 patients aged 17 to 72. The proposed method is technically simple, highly effective and can be recommended for use in hospitals equipped with computer-assisted gamma-cameras. Indices of radionuclide clearance of the esophagus reflect its function of self-purification and well correlate with a degree of inflammatory changes of esophageal mucosa. They disappear more rapidly in patients receiving multimodality therapy including selective drug denervation of the stomach than in patients on conservative therapy alone.
