[Differential radiographic-endoscopic diagnosis of gastric ulceration]

The results of radiological and endoscopic examination of 173 patients with gastric ulcerations (71 of cancerous and 102 of ulcerative etiology) were studied. The authors consider complex radiological and endoscopic examination expedient. Radiological examination in this case should include both the real-time imaging and double contrast study. Standardization of the examination method improves the quality of endoscopic diagnosis. An important element in solving the problem of precise diagnosis of gastric ulcerations may be the combined use of gastro-fluorography with video-control and endoscopy according to a definite programme in individuals at high risk for gastric carcinoma.
