The detectability of ectopic gastric mucosa by Technetium (Tc)-99m pertechnetate abdominal scanning was investigated by reviewing 62 such scans in 52 pediatric patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The histologic diagnoses and clinical conditions were correlated to the findings of the scans. There were 21 true-positives, 35 true-negatives, one false-positive and five false-negative studies. The overall sensitivity of this scan for the detection of ectopic gastric mucosa was 81%, the specificity was 97% and the accuracy was 90%.

D011237	Predictive Value of Tests	In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
