Definition of the EGJ position and 3D reconstruction of gastric content. a Transverse abdominal MR images at time points t = 10 and 80 min. EGJ is marked by a white arrow. Stomach contours are depicted as yellow lines. b The 3D reconstructed contours of stomach (black closed lines) and esophagus (dark blue closed lines) together with the color-coded gastric content (blue to red) of the same subject at the same time points. Gastric content was color-coded to highlight the formation of the secretion layer, here depicted in red. A non-linear color-coding of the contrast optimized grayscale values in the MR images was applied. The location of the EGJ is marked by the black dot at the end of the esophagus
