Please visit the Nuclear Medicine Review Manual, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDKD), the Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy (17th ed), and the Society of Nuclear Medicine (in Adobe *.pdf format) articles on peptic ulcer disease the detection of Helicobacter pylori until I have an opportunity to develop my own content.

Also worth a visit is the website of Tri-Med, the company that distributes the PYtest® (C-14 Urea) test for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection in the human stomach. A product monograph for the test is also available.
