ABSTRACT
Objective To study the values of the diagnosis of superficial carcinoma of stomach using digital radiography(DR). Methods Patients with superficial carcinoma of stomach( n = 62) were divided into two groups:group DR( n = 35, using digital radiography) and group control( n = 27, using traditional X ray machine). All pa-tients were undergone Gas-Barium double contrast radiograph examination before operation and confirmed by pathol-ogy. Results In group DR, the focuses of 32 patients were found and 3 lost. In group control, the focuses of 22 pa-tients were found and 5 lost. The detection rate of the two groups had significant difference( P < 0.01 ). Conclusion The application of DR could increase the detection rate of superficial carcinoma of stomach, meanwhile gastroscope and pathology biopsy were also important.
