Abstract
Gastric ulcer scars, which imply previous peptic ulcer disease, are visable with moderate frequency during double-contrast examinations. The radiographic appearance of gastric ulcer scars and the frequency of their occurrence in 2 differing patient populations were investigated. Thirty-five gastric ulcers were followed to healing. Most ulcer scars apparently appear as folds converging toward the ulcer site, at times accompanied by a central depression and/or gross deformity of the stomach. Two series of 200 patients each who underwent double-contrast examinations suggest a 1-4% incidence of ulcer scars, dependent upon the population examined.
