Depends on age: The ejection fraction of gb is different in children than in adults. Pediatric nuclear medicine specialists usually look at ejection fraction at 30 minutes while adults use an hour. Over 50% at 30 minutes is normal as long as slow bolus injection of cck. Other issues can contribute to nausea. Has your son had gastric emptying nuclear medicine test? People with slow emptying can have nausea.
