Zusammenfassung

Eine verzögerte Magenentleerung ist als primäre Erkrankung sowie als Sekundärerscheinung bei unterschiedlichen Krankheitsprozessen bei Hund und Katze bekannt. Dabei ist die Diagnose einer Magenentleerungsstörung in der Veterinärmedizin schwierig; die szintigrafische Untersuchung gilt jedoch als Goldstandardmethode. Allerdings ist die Bestimmung von Referenzwerten nicht unproblematisch und die Signifikanz alimentärer sowie physiologischer Einflüsse, Rasse oder Gewicht ungeklärt. Weiterhin ist der routinemäßige Einsatz durch gesetzliche Regularien, die Verfügbarkeit der Methode sowie Probleme in der Interpretation eingeschränkt. Dieser Artikel soll einen Überblick über die bisher beim Kleintier angewandten szintigrafischen Techniken zur Bestimmung der Magenentleerungszeit geben und Vor- und Nachteile der Methode aufzeigen.

Abstract

Gastric emptying disorders are known in the dog and cat as a primary process as well as a secondary phenomenon to different underlying diseases. Diagnosing gastric emptying disorders remains difficult in veterinary medicine; however, gastric scintigraphy is considered the gold standard method. Unfortunately, determination of reference values is problematic and the significance of alimentary or physiological influences, breed or weight remains largely unknown. In addition, performance of scintigraphy in routine-diagnostics is limited by law restrictions, availability and difficulties in interpretation of results.This article gives an overview of scintigraphic techniques used in small animals so far to assess gastric emptying times and discusses advantages and disadvantages of this method.
