Visualization of the area gastricae in double-contrast examination.
The dimensions of the adsorption of barium contrast media on the gastric mucosa - the thickness of the layer and its optic density - have been measured in vitro. Their relations to the density and viscosity of 5 commercially available barium sulfate contrast media have been examined. From these grounds the visualization of areae gastricae is quantitatively explained.
