Duodenography Relaxation

Duodenography is a method of studying the upper gastrointestinal tract, which allows you to obtain information about the condition of the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum, as well as the presence of stones and other formations in the ducts of the pancreas and gallbladder.

Duodenography can be performed either with or without the use of a contrast agent. The contrast agent is injected through a thin catheter, which is inserted into the duodenum and then advanced along it to the examination site.

Depending on the type of study, duodenography can be performed both at rest and in motion. Duodenography in motion allows you to obtain more accurate information about the work of the stomach and intestines, since in this case they are not in a static position, but are functioning.

One type of duodenography is relaxation duodenography. It is carried out using drugs that cause relaxation of the muscles of the intestines and stomach. This allows you to obtain more accurate research results and avoid possible errors.

Relaxation duodenography can also be performed using ultrasound or x-rays. In both cases, the results of the study will be quite accurate and will provide a complete picture of the condition of the gastrointestinal tract.

**Duodenography (a type of radiography)** is a study of the small intestine using contrast. The results of duodenoscopy depend on the condition of the intestine through which the rays are projected. In this case, distortions are possible due to improper separation of intestinal folds or uneven passage tension, as well as poor resolution of the structure. Difficulties arise in the presence of gases and with suprastenotic distention of the intestine. This study allows us to identify both organic and functional disorders of internal organs.

Duodenografpi relaxation - (d gr hypotonic) one of the non-invasive methods for diagnosing diseases of the duodenum and stomach (global duodenum). Designed to study the motor-evacuation function of the stomach and duodenum. To diagnose hypotonic duodenographies, the stage of “selective aspiration” is necessary.

The significance of the study during hypotensive duodenography is due to the possible damage to the duodenal glands (more often) and proximal parts of the stomach, as well as the detection of hidden sources of gastric contents or duodenal masses. How all of these methods make it possible to determine gastric ulcer, duodenal and extraesophageal forms of pathology.
