Gastrography can detect stomach diseases such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and stomach tumors, and esophageal diseases such as esophageal ulcers.
Gastrography, also known as gastric barium contrast examination, where the patient swallows to be introduced into the stomach and then undergoes abdominal X-ray radiography, can show the morphology and function of the inner lumen and mucosal folds.
Gastrography can detect diseases in the stomach, such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, duodenal bulb ulcers, gastric polyps, and gastric cancer.
It can also detect diseases of the esophagus, such as esophageal ulcers, esophageal tumors, esophageal polyps, and reflux esophagitis.
Gastrography has limitations for relatively small lesions and may be affected by the speed of gastric peristalsis, but it can be used to observe the lesion and whether there are lymph node metastases in the surrounding area.
