Official Title: Contrast Enhanced Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography for Non-invasive Assessment of Intestinal Transit Time in Lactose Intolerance Patients
Brief Summary:
The study aims to investigate gastrointestinal transit using multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) in a prospective diagnostic study involving patients suspected of primary or secondary lactose intolerance.These patients exhibit varying clinical symptoms and different results from the hydrogen breath test (H2 breath test).Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for breaking down lactose into glucose and galactose.Without this breakdown, lactose is fermented…
