title: [Use of CR in the detection of present gastric cancer: diagnostic aspects].
abstract: The authors describe the state-of-the-art of gastric cancer detection in detail and show the current principles of its radiodiagnosis. They provide a detailed explanation for that radiodiagnosis should be urgently returned into gastroenterology as an equal with endoscopy, which is based on the existing tendency for the major morphological types of gastric cancer to appear. The present-day capacities of radiodiagnosis of gastric cancer are mainly based on the introduction of the digital technologies into traditional radiology, which will replace the analog imaging principle in the foreseeable future. The authors present their data of examining 300 gastric cancer cases diagnosed by the CR system and later verified by a morphological study of resected gastric specimens. They emphasize that intraparietally growing gastric cancer is frequently inaccessible for endoscopy long, which determines the need for two basic procedures (radiodiagnosis and endoscopy) coexisting on a par for the detection of gastric cancer. They are sure that computed radiology (CR) will be the most acceptable way of changing traditional radiology to the digital imaging principle in primary, municipal health care in the near future.
