    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Physiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Gastric motility is crucial for digestion.
    • Quantitative assessment of antral motility aids in understanding gastric emptying.
    • Previous methods lacked precise quantification of antral dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantitatively determine antral motility using X-ray imaging.
    • To establish parameters for evaluating gastric antral contractile efficiency.
    • To analyze the dynamics of antral surface changes during gastric emptying.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized X-ray videoplanimetry for quantitative surface area determination.
    • Acquired sequential X-ray images (10 per subject) in 12 healthy fasting adults.
    • Measured antral surface area changes after barium sulfate ingestion during apnea.

    Main Results:

    • Antral area decreased by 50% within 10.4 ± 2.8 seconds.
    • Complete gastric antral emptying occurred in 23.1 ± 3.6 seconds.
    • Introduced a coefficient to evaluate antral contractile efficiency based on surface variation per gastric period.

    Conclusions:

    • X-ray videoplanimetry provides a quantitative method for assessing antral motility.
    • The study established key timings for antral emptying in healthy individuals.
    • A novel coefficient can evaluate the contractile efficiency of the gastric antrum.
