Ninety children with signs and symptoms of gastroesophageal (GE) reflux were studied. All of them had GE scintigraphy, barium, and endoscopy, and 50, in addition, ultrasound examination. The sensitivity of the GE scintigraphy, in comparison with the other methods, was 92.5%. It is a useful screening test for GE reflux.
