Abstract
Radiologic sensitivity was determined in 54 patients with endoscopically diagnosed erosive gastritis. Four (24%) of 17 cases examined by single-contrast radiography and 16 (43%) of 37 cases examined by double-contrast radiography were detected. Double-contrast views and compression filming were both equally effective in diagnosing erosive gastritis during examinations where both were used. Although double-contrast examinations were more effective than single-contrast studies, both radiologic methods demonstrated poor sensitivity in detecting erosive gastritis.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
