Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Hypotonic duodenography was compared with conventional barium examination in 68 patients (70 examinations) with clinically suggested or verified disease of the pancreas or duodenum. In 13 cases (18.5%) conventional examination demonstrated the duodenal anatomy better than hypotonic duodenography. In nine cases (13%) hypotonic duodenography was superior and in 48 cases (68.5%) both techniques were diagnostically equal. It is concluded that, in only a few cases, does hypotonic duodenography add any diagnostic information to that which can be obtained with properly performed conventional examination of the duodenum. |
