    Summary

    Gastric ulcer scars are often visible during double-contrast examinations. Most scars appear as converging folds, with an incidence of 1-4% depending on the patient population.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Gastric ulcer scars indicate prior peptic ulcer disease.
    • These scars are detectable via double-contrast examinations.
    • Understanding their appearance and prevalence is crucial for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the radiographic appearance of gastric ulcer scars.
    • To determine the frequency of gastric ulcer scars in different patient groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiographic analysis of 35 gastric ulcers followed to healing.
    • Review of double-contrast examinations from two patient cohorts (200 patients each).

    Main Results:

    • Gastric ulcer scars typically manifest as converging folds towards the original site.
    • A central depression or stomach deformity may also be present.
    • The incidence of visible ulcer scars ranged from 1% to 4% across the studied populations.

    Conclusions:

    • Gastric ulcer scars have characteristic radiographic findings.
    • The prevalence of these scars varies between patient populations, necessitating careful interpretation during examinations.
