Duodenitis: endoscopic-radiologic correlation in 272 patients.

D W Gelfand, W J Dale, D J Ott

    Radiology
    |December 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Radiologic findings can help diagnose duodenitis (inflammation of the duodenum). Thickened folds and mucosal nodules are the most sensitive indicators, showing promise for non-invasive assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Duodenitis, inflammation of the duodenum, presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Accurate radiologic identification of duodenitis is crucial for patient management.
    • Previous studies have explored various imaging modalities for duodenitis detection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of specific radiologic findings in diagnosing duodenitis.
    • To determine the sensitivity and specificity of key radiologic signs associated with duodenitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 272 patients undergoing duodenoscopy.
    • Comparison of radiologic findings between 157 patients with endoscopically confirmed duodenitis and 115 controls.
    • Assessment of four radiologic signs: thickened folds (>4 mm), mucosal nodules, bulbar deformity, and erosions.

    Main Results:

    • Thickened folds (72.0%) and mucosal nodules (48.4%) demonstrated the highest sensitivity for duodenitis.
    • Erosions were the least sensitive radiologic sign (10.8%).
    • Overall radiologic sensitivity (77.7%) and specificity (76.5%) were comparable to diagnoses of peptic ulcer or esophagitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiologic assessment can identify potential signs of duodenitis.
    • Thickened folds and nodularity are valuable indicators in radiologic examinations for duodenitis.
    • Radiology offers a sensitivity and specificity comparable to other upper gastrointestinal diagnoses.
