Five hundred examinations, including 191 esophagoscopic and 182 duodenoscopic examinations were performed on 421 patients with fiberoptic endoscopes. Diagnoses determined by X-ray and gastroscopic examination were compared and the fibergastroscope was shown to be superior in the demonstration of gastric ulcers. We feel that the fiberendoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract complements and extends the information gained from radiologic examination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
