  • Title: Endoscopy and routine and double-contrast barium meal in diagnosis of gastric and duodenal disorders.
    Author: Rogers IM, Sokhi GS, Moule B, Joffe SN, Blumgart LH.
    Journal: Lancet; 1976 Apr 24; 1(7965):901-2. PubMed ID: 58162.
    Abstract:
    A double-contrast barium meal has been carried out on 37 patients in whom there had been disagreement in diagnosis between the routine barium meal and subsequent oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy. There was an 81% agreement between the endoscopic diagnosis and the diagnosis obtained with double-contrast barium meal. Confirmation of the endoscopic and double-contrast radiological diagnosis was obtained all 11 patients who had surgical treatment. These findings suggest that a double-contrast barium meal should be routinely used in the diagnosis of dyspepsia.
