Abstract
An endoscopic method for estimation of the patterns for human submucosal tumors was elaborated. A water soluble contrast medium was injected into the submucosa and roentgenography was applied to obtain an X-ray image of the object lesion and visualize its frontal and lateral aspects, which could help outline the intramural characteristic of the tumor and identify its development mode. Far-reaching contributions of the device for possible diagnosis of submucosal tumors prior to treatment and confirmation of their indications adequate for endoscopical treatment are suggested. The method may potentially represent an ideal step to the consummation of endoscopic treatment of tumors, the success of which is dependent on the prevention of major bleeding and perforation.
