[Possibilities of computerized tomography in the diagnosis of gastric tumors].

On basis of experience in computed tomography (CT) of the stomach in 76 individuals, in 44 of whom gastric tumors were diagnosed, the possibilities of this method in the recognition of this pathological condition are discussed. The authors discuss in detail their own method of CT of the stomach, which combines elements of the classical gastroroentgenology and the specific features of CT characteristic of it as an independent method. The method is based on fractional contrasting of the gastric lumen by introducing air through a nasogastric catheter. It practically excludes the possibility of diagnostic errors associated with visualization of "pseudothickenings" of the gastric wall, and thus removes the main limiting factor of using CT in the diagnosis of gastric tumors. Appraising quite highly the CT potential in neoplastic diseases of the stomach, the authors emphasize that the method must be used in complex with the existing traditional means of examination of the stomach.

[Magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of gastric cancer: X-ray versus MRI anatomic findings].

The paper assesses the present-day role of MRI in the diagnosis of gastric cancer. The authors consider the major prerequisites for the main aim of their study to be: 1) a dramatic incidence of diffuse (endophytic) gastric carcinoma, which requires significant correction of today's approaches to its diagnosis and 2) a rather biased and, in the authors' opinion, present-day mainly negative attitude towards MRI of the stomach as a diagnostic method for its tumor lesions. By applying the X-ray-MRI anatomic principle to the comparative study of MRI findings in 50 patients with predominantly gastric intramural carcinoma and in 25 patients without gastric tumors (controls), the authors present their methods for gastric MRI, the MRI semiotics of gastric cancer by concurrently touching upon a variety of problems that characterize the potentialities of MRI of the stomach in the diagnosis of its tumor lesions, including their differential diagnosis. As a result, the authors highly appreciate gastric MRI and consider this method to be included into the diagnostic algorithm of radiation techniques used in the diagnosis of gastric cancer, which should occupy its definite diagnostic place.

[Current X-ray diagnosis of stomach cancer (comparison of radiologic and morphological methods of investigation)].

By using the principles of wide comparisons of the data of radiation diagnosis (routine X-ray study, ultrasonography (USG), CT, MRI) with the morphological findings of resected gastric specimens from patients with endophytic gastric cancer (EGC) (n = 85), the authors propose some points in the problem associated with its diagnosis. They believe that by taking into account the fact that there is an obvious growth of endophytic parietally growing gastric cancer with the concurrent reduction in its intestinal forms, it is necessary to restore current radiation to its leading place, along with endoscopy, in detecting the cancer. The authors makes a highly positive assessment of USG, CT, MRI in addition to routine X-ray study and endoscopy particularly in those cases when difficulties emerge in histological verification of the existing signs of parietally growing cancer. The paper makes indications for USG, CT, MRI concrete. The authors also show how to stage gastric cancer.
