title: Gastric cancer. Radiologic diagnosis.
abstract: The development and refinement of double-contrast barium techniques over the past two decades have dramatically improved the radiologist's ability to detect gastric cancer and characterize gastric ulcers. This article presents the radiologic findings of both early and advanced gastric cancer and offers guidelines for differentiating benign versus malignant gastric ulcers.
