title: The modern methods of gastric imaging.
abstract: The major aim of the review is presenting contemporary diagnostic methods applied in gastric imaging as well as their place in clinical treatment. The authors discuss both conventional and modern methods. Although the method of double contrast barium meal is still the most important in stomach diagnostics, the modern methods such as EUSG, CT and MRI are becoming more and more meaningful not only in evaluating gastric neoplastic pathological changes. All applied diagnostic procedures should not be competitive but complementary and constitute an excellent means in hands of an experienced clinicist and radiologist.
