A Study to Evaluate Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography Imaging to Explain Macrophage Activation in Diabetic Gastroparesis

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate feasibility of dynamic 11C-ER176 PET imaging to identify macrophage-driven immune dysregulation in gastric muscle of patients with DG. Non-invasive quantitative assessment with PET can significantly add to our diagnostic armamentarium for patients with diabetic gastroenteropathy.
