  • Title: Duodenitis: endoscopic-radiologic correlation in 272 patients.
    Author: Gelfand DW, Dale WJ, Ott DJ, Wu WC, Kerr RM, Munitz HA, Chen YM.
    Journal: Radiology; 1985 Dec; 157(3):577-81. PubMed ID: 4059542.
    Abstract:
    Potential radiologic findings of duodenitis were investigated in 272 patients, 157 with endoscopically diagnosed duodenitis and 115 endoscopically normal controls. The study assessed the value of four signs: folds more than 4 mm thick, mucosal nodules, bulbar deformity, and erosions. The most sensitive signs were thickened folds (72.0%) and nodularity (48.4%), while demonstration of erosions was the least sensitive (10.8%). Overall sensitivity (77.7%) approximated that for the radiologic diagnosis of peptic ulcer or esophagitis. Radiologic specificity (76.5%) was in the same range.
