Abstract
In vivo human studies evaluated concurrently the volume of the stomach during fasting and after a solid and liquid meal using a new SPECT-based method. Although fasting gastric volumes did not impact the rates of gastric emptying, both postprandial and accommodation volumes of the whole and proximal stomach were significantly correlated with gastric emptying. Larger stomach volumes were associated with slower gastric emptying.
