ROENTGENOLOGIC AND GASTROCAMERA EXAMINATIONS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF GASTRIC ULCER

S. BRÜNNER 1, I. RAHBEK 2, and J. MOSBECH 2

1 From the Department of Roentgenology, St. Elisabeths Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark

In 102 patients with different diseases of the stomach, gastrocamera examination has been performed as a supplement to the roentgenologic examination. The results of the two methods are compared.

In 12 patients the examination with gastrocamera failed.

Out of 13 cases of gastric carcinoma, 7 were found by roentgenologic and 13 by gastrocamera examination.

Among 77 patients with nonmalignant diseases, roentgenologic examination gave suspicion of malignancy in 12 patients, whereas there were only 3 false positive cases by gastrocamera examination.

The over-all accuracy was 84 per cent by roentgenologic study, 87 per cent by gastrophotography, and 98 per cent by the combination of the two methods.

The combined technique of roentgenologic and gastrocamera examination seems to have improved the diagnosis of malignancy, but unfortunately only in the more advanced cases.
