Plot shows the 2 GE parameters, tP13CO2 (□) and t½b (◁) in group A and B. Symbols indicate the mean in each group, boxes show the range, mean ± SD. Whiskers demonstrate extremes of the distribution. Paired t test shows that in patients the mean time of the tP13CO2 and the mean half-emptying times are delayed significantly compared with the 30 healthy controls (P <.03 and P <.01, respectively).

Comparison of t½b determined by ABT with t½s determined by scintigraphy for group B patients. A good correlation is seen (r1 = 0.97).
