title: [X-ray computerized tomography in the differential diagnosis of gastric ulceration].
abstract: The results of more than 3000 gastric examinations were used to study the potentialities of X-ray computerized tomography in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant gastric ulcerations. CT evidence for benign and malignant gastric ulcerations is outlined. The place and role of CT in the diagnostic algorithm for gastric ulcerations are defined. In the authors' opinion, CT is a supplementary study and should be used purposefully after preliminary X-ray, endoscopic, and morphological examinations in difficult clinical situations associated with the differential diagnosis of gastric ulcerations.
