“…Accordingly, evaluating gastrointestinal functions by MGG make this a clinically relevant tool to diagnose gastric motility dysfunctions [20,21]. Nonetheless, more studies regarding the assimilation of the magnetite particles that were ingested [15] as well as the absorption of these by the human body are needed to dismiss any health risks.…”

“…A protocol has been established to conduct MGG tests and states that the patient must ingest semi-solid food that has been previously validated [15], such as an egg and slice of sandwich bread with 3 gr of magnetite particles (diameter ranging from 55 µm to 125 µm) previously diluted into these. Half an hour later after ingestion, the patient is placed in a supine position along the axes of the Helmholtz coil system, as to ensure the stomach´s closest proximity to the sensors [16].…”

Evaluating the gastrointestinal tract (GI) has become vital due to the essential clinical information it presents, particularly for diabetic and elderly patients. Hence, various methods have been studied and applied to analyze the GI tract from different perspectives. These include evaluations by endoscopy, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), scintigraphy and various biomagnetic techniques. Two of the parameters that are assessed to aid in the diagnosis of gastric disorders are gastric motility and emptying. This work discusses three different techniques used to evaluated the GI lack of ionizing radiation: MRI, ultrasound, and magnetogastrography. The results obtained by each method are mentioned and compared to determine their viability and potential as complementary clinical diagnostic tests. These three alternative techniques for gastroenterology evaluations are still not routine clinical procedures and are not known by patients with gastrointestinal diseases. In authors opinion, these could bring benefits to service providers and patients themselves.
