  • Title: Roentgen problems in evaluating the atrophic stomach of the elderly.
    Author: Bryk D, Elguezabal A.
    Journal: Am J Roentgenol Radium Ther Nucl Med; 1975 Feb; 123(2):236-41. PubMed ID: 163597.
    Abstract:
    Gastric atrophy in the elderly may cause problems in the interpretation of gastrointestinal studies. Seventeen such cases are reported: 8 patients showed limited distensibility and irregularity of the distal stomach simulating scirrhous carcinoma; 6 patients showed gastric retention of food; and 2 patients showed gastric retention of oral cholecystographic medium. Awareness of these phenomena may prevent serious errors in roentgen diagnosis.
