Cairn Diagnostics

For many patients and doctors, the path to a definitive diagnosis can be complex, slow, and frustrating. At Cairn Diagnostics, tests can be developed to eliminate complexity and create a safer, faster, and clearer diagnostic pathway. Gastroparesis is characterized by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction in the stomach. While gastric scintigraphy can be used to diagnose gastroparesis, it requires referral to specialized outpatient centers and subjects patients to radiation exposure. Therefore, after first ruling out other conditions such as dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and ulcers, gastric scintigraphy is typically used later in the diagnostic pathway.
