Abstract:
Virtual endoscopy (VE), three-dimensional endoscopic ultrasonography(3-DEUS) and three-dimensional ultrasonography(3D-US) have been utilized for three-dimensional medical images of upper gastrointestinal lesions. VE images are similar to endoscopic images. But because the detection rate of early gastric cancers is from 39.6% to 78%, it is difficult to use for the screening of gastric lesions now. 3-DEUS has been used for assessment of depth of cancerous invasion or treatment for esophageal and gastric cancer. Accuracy of cancerous invasion has been improved by 3-DEUS because both radial images and lineal images are able to be observed simultaneously. One of benefit in 3D-US is not invasive. These methods are thought to be improved and to be popularized.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
