Objectives: Most gastric emptying studies use eggs as their preferred solid food method due to its affordability, easy preparation and accessibility. However, multiple studies have shown that chicken livers have a higher labeling efficiency than eggs due to the binding of 99mTc-sulfur colloid to Kup...
