Abstract:
Metastatic involvement of the colon is extremely rare. We report a 63-year-old man with colonic metastasis from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Whole-body F-FDG PET/CT showed abnormal tracer uptakes in the sigmoid colon, which was subsequently confirmed as metastatic from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

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.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
