Duodenoradiography is a diagnostic method that combines radiography and endoscopy. It is used to examine the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Duodenoradiography allows you to obtain information about the condition of the duodenum and its contents, as well as the presence of stones in the gall bladder.
To perform duodenoradiography, the patient is in a supine position, and then an endoscope is inserted into the duodenum. After this, a series of x-rays are taken, which allow us to study the condition of the mucous membrane of the duodenum, the presence of stones in the gall bladder and other pathological changes.
This diagnostic method is safe and painless, which makes it popular among patients. However, before performing duodenoradiography, it is necessary to ensure that there are no contraindications, such as recent bleeding from the stomach or intestines, exacerbation of peptic ulcer, etc.
A duodenal x-ray, sometimes called a gastric x-ray, is a simple x-ray examination to detect various diseases of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Additionally, examination can be carried out from the lower parts of the esophagus to the duodenum. To detect malignant neoplasms of the esophagus and stomach, a full anatomical stomach and deep relaxation of the esophagus are used.
