Sažetak

Diagnostics in gastroenterology is based on endoscopy, ultrasound and radiological imaging, in addition to physical examination and laboratory testing. Besides being used as valuable diagnostic tools, these methods also represent the foundation for non-surgical interventions in gastroenterological patients. In the fi eld of diagnostic imaging, a specific role is attributed to nuclear medicine methods. Although rarely used, the latter may contribute to defi nitive diagnosis of diseases in such patients, as they are noninvasive and accurate. This review article provides a brief and comprehensible summary of nuclear medicine methods in gastroenterology.
