Abstract
Approximately three-fourths of upper gastrointestinal examinations are normal and can be screened. The author describes a diagnostic component mix which significantly reduces professional time, room and equipment use, and patient exposure. The diagnostic accuracy of this quality cost-restraint procedure, combined with the clinical history, approaches that of most current examinations and surpasses those in which routine air and prone compression views are not obtained.
