ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of small intestinal double contrast radiography ( SIDCR) in the diagnosis of small intestinal diseases. Methods The data of 1182 SIDCR cases have been reviewed, including patients' sex, age, clinical symptoms and final diagnosis. The positive rate of diagnosis and types of disease in SIDCR cases were analyzed. Results The positive rate of diagnosis by SIDCR was 41.46%. In all positive cases, diverticulum accounts for 27.14%, inflammatory diseases 19.80%, and tumor 12.45%. The positive rate in in-patients was 54.00%, and in out-patients was 31.84%. The positive rate of male was 42.22%, and that of female 40.43%. The highest positive rate was 48.21% in 51-60 years old age group. In terms of clinical manifestations, the positive rate was highest in patients with abdominal mass (63.15%), and followed by gastrointestinal hemorrhage (51.58%) and abdominal pain (48.61%) respectively. Conclusions At present, the SIDCR is still a reliable and useful tech- nology, and is one of main methods for the diagnosis of small intestinal diseases.
