Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Gastric Motility in Conscious Rats
This study demonstrates the feasibility of GI MRI in awake rats and highlights notable differences in gastric and intestinal motility between awake and anesthetized states. Our protocol provides a novel and valuable framework for preclinical studies of GI physiology and pathophysiology.
