    Abstract:
    A comparison was made between three double contrast methods and the conventional method of X-ray examination of the stomach. 106 patets received ordinary barium sulphate together with effervescent granules. 119 patients were examined with a special barium sulphate preparation containing dissolved carbon dioxide (Baritop). The third group, 100 patients, received Baritop and effervescent granules, and 100 patients a conventional barium meal. The films were analyzed as to the quality of mucosal pattern demonstration, mucosal affinity of the contrast medium, and the degree of dilatation of the stomach and duo8num. In addition, the degree of interference by gas bubbles was estimated. The best results were obtained with the contrast medium containing carbon dioxide (Baritop).
