- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Upper gastrointestinal tract imaging is crucial for diagnosing various gastric conditions.
- Advancements in imaging modalities and interventional techniques continue to evolve.
- A comprehensive review of recent literature is needed to understand current trends.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and synthesize recent research in upper gastrointestinal tract imaging.
- To highlight key findings in diagnostic techniques and interventional procedures.
- To identify emerging trends in the field of gastric imaging and interventions.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of 22 relevant scientific papers.
- Categorization of studies based on imaging modality (e.g., double contrast, biphasic, sonography) and intervention type.
- Analysis of technical aspects, diagnostic applications, and interventional outcomes.
Main Results:
- The review encompasses studies on double contrast and biphasic upper gastrointestinal tract imaging.
- Significant interest persists in transabdominal gastroduodenal sonography.
- Interventional techniques, including foreign body removal and percutaneous gastrostomy/gastroenterostomy, are discussed.
