[Possibilities and limitations of gastrointestinal radiography].

The picture intensifier television radioscopy, picture intensifier initial level photography, double contrast method and pharmacoradiography together with endoscopy further the optimation of the diagnostics of the diseases of oesophagus, stomach and intestine. The value of the X-ray diagnostics for the recognition of the biliary diseases and of the incleared jaundice is high. In diseases of liver and pancreas the X-ray diagnostics may further the finding of decision. Ways for a better interdisciplinary cooperation are demonstrated.

Cholangiography

[Deep duodenoscopy and ERCP].

The deep duodenoscopy serves for the endoscopico-bioptic clarification of radiologically unclear findings distally from the bulb (niches, sockets, stenoses) and of the positional relations between diverticulum and papilla. As a rule, it is connected with an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP). The endoscopic retrograde pancreaticography is indicated in relapsing chronic pancreatitis for proving or excluding of changes needing operation which are taken into consideration as partial factors of the relapsing course as well as in suspicion to a local pancreatitis complication and carcinoma of the pancreas. The endoscopic retrograde cholangiography is a decisive aid for the differentiation of the cholostatic icterus. It improves the diagnostics of complaints after operative interventions at the system of the biliary ducts, facilitates the diagnosis of the papillary stenosis and is indicated in insufficient conventional contrasting the biliary ducts. The complications (pancreatitis, cholangitis, cystic infection) have become rare with increasing experience. Contraindications are the florid pancreatitis and cholangitis.

Cholangiography

[The contribution of ERCP to the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis].

A survey is given of the present state of the ERCP in the diagnostics of the chronic pancreatitis. The ERCP is not suited for the proof of early changes in the chronic pancreatitis; it does not allow an exclusion diagnosis. The value of the ERCP in the chronic pancreatitis consists in the fact to render the indication to operation by the proof changes which should be operated on, or to precise it, respectively, and to prevent unnecessary test laparotomies. For this reason the ERCP is indicated above all in the ascertained chronically relapsing pancreatitis and in the persistence of symptoms after an acute inflammatory attack. The most comprehensive information about the morphologic state of the pancreas is got by the combination of the ERCP with methods which reflect the size and the external form of the organ and give evidence concerning the structural changes (sonography, computer tomography).

Cholangiography

[Radiography and endoscopy in the diagnosis of the gastroduodenal ulcer].

In the clarification of circumscribed processes in stomach and duodenal bulb radiodiagnostics and endoscopy supplement themselves in an ideal way. The endoscopy seems to have advantages in recognition and explanation of findings on the cardial and subcardial parts of the stomach as well as on the operated stomach. Deformation of the duodenal bulb and changes of the post-stenotic parts can be better judged radiologically. The complete healing of an ulcer is exactly recognisable only by means of endoscopy. Linear ulcers are often not to be seen in radiodiagnostics. With the help of the aimed biopsy the decision on benignity or malignity of the ulcerating process has become easier. Every radiologically not certainly explainable findings and every discrepancy between X-ray picture and complaints of the patients should bring about an endoscopic examination.

Biopsy

[Progress in pancreatic X-ray diagnosis in the last 30 years].

Proceeding from the pre-war state of the radiology of the pancreas in temporary order those investigations are discussed which essentially furthered the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases. The pneumopancreatotomography allowed the first direct proof of the pancreas; it has essentially enriched the anatomic conceptions. 10 to 15 years ago the splenoportography was the most evident examination of vessels. Today it is substituted by the coeliaco-mesentericography which in the venous phase delivers a splenoportogram and which allows to prove tumours rich in vessels with sufficient certainty. The investigation of the duodenum in hypotension improves the diagnostic of space-demanding processes on the surface of the head of the pancreas. The main value of scintigraphy consists in the exclusion of pancreatic diseases. The main value of scintigraphy consists in the exclusion of pancreatic diseases. The endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreaticography allows to shift the operative phase into the preoperative phase. Trijodated contrast remedies and developments concerning the technics of the apparatuses resulted in essential advantages. The pancreatic space which was empty 30 years ago is very much detected nowadays, though a contrast remedy which can be secreted by the pancreas needs still the detection.
