Radiological examination for elderly patients with peptic ulcer]
Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine(2002)
Abstract
In this review, radiological examination for elderly patients was discussed. In recent years, technology for endoscopy was remarkably developed and endoscopical diagnosis of peptic ulcer became much easier and safer than before. Thus, indication of a biphasic radiologic examination is decreasing especially for the elderly patients. There are many problems for radiological examination in the elderly. Most of problems are based on aging, i.e. difficulties in swallowing, moving, defecation, understanding instruction, etc. Clinical characteristics of peptic ulcer in aging people should be considered. The knowledge of complaining, complications, ulcer location, and etiology including H. pylori infection might be also important. These issues should be well understood before performing radiological examination in the elderly.
