[Double contrast examination of the stomach. Definition, technic and indications]
Abstract:
Double contrast examination constitutes an important element in radiological gastric examination. The author examines the history of the term "double contrast" and defines the designation of "double contrast examination". The exclusive use of the double contrast method reduces the diagnostic value of gastric X-ray examinations. Thus a method is suggested that will avoid the disadvantages of exclusive double contrast examination while adequately including double contrast in the gastric examination. This is done by using various methods - according to the problem posed - in order to achieve the double contrast.
