“…So transabdominal hydrosonography ranks with the initial methods used for diagnosing gastric carcinoma. Some investigators, however, recommended further studies for verification of its usefulness in the assessment of gastric carcinoma (Polkowski et al, 2002).…”

Background: Metastasis is frequently occurred among the gastric carcinoma patients. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to detect the age and sex difference of stomach cancer patients attended at a tertiary care hospital in Dhaka. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried in the department of Radiology and Imaging of Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka during the period of July 2009 to June 2011. Clinically suspected gastric carcinoma patients were evaluated by ultrasonography of upper abdomen and or Ba-meal x-ray evaluation. The sonographic findings were noted. All these patients were properly follow up and collect the endoscopic biopsy and or surgical resection biopsy reports. Result: A total number of 60 patients were evaluated with the age ranged between 31-80 years. There were 39(65%) men and 21(35%) women. Among the 27 patients confirmed as gastric carcinoma by histopathological examination, the age ranged between 31-80 years with the highest number of patients in the age group 61-70 years. Out of the 27 patients confirmed as gastric carcinoma by histopathological examination, there were 18(66.7%) men and 9(33.3%) women. Conclusion: Gastric carcinoma is most commonly found in male in the older age group.

“…[12][13][14] Technical advances in sonography have confirmed the efficacy of TAS for the examination of the gastrointestinal tract. [15][16][17] In particular, good quality images of the gastro-esophageal junction, the antrum of the stomach, and the duodenum can be obtained through the acoustic window provided by the liver. 5,18 In this study, we were able to examine the body and antrum of the stomach using TAS in 312 of 400 (78%) of patients.…”

“…13,16,19,20 In addition, TAS is far less accurate than endoscopy in the detection of small lesions or lesions near the stomach cardia and therefore cannot be used for the detection of EGC. However, Lim et al 8 suggested that TAS is a valuable method for the differentiation between EGC and AGC.…”

“…In particular, submucosal gastric masses can be visualized in the submucosal and muscular layers of the gastric wall by US, but they are not visualized on endoscopy. US is non-invasive compared to endosonography and can be used for following submucosal gastric masses that are not excised [16,17]. Technically, the use of US for evaluation of the wall of the gastric fundus and the greater curvature of the gastric body is difficult because of stomach gas.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of an imaging technique that takes into account the effect of posture change on the stomach in transabdominal ultrasonography (US). A total of 240 adult patients (healthy subjects) underwent gastric US. In all subjects, the lesser curvature of the stomach (LCS) and left liver were measured in two different positions [left lateral decubitus (LLD) and supine]. The maximal length of the LCS was defined as the measured range between the cardial orifice and the left liver tip. The anteroposterior length (L1) and maximal longitudinal length (L2) of the left liver were determined on epigastric longitudinal scans. The mean LCS in the supine and LLD positions was 90.2 +/- 34.7 and 124.4 +/- 44.4 mm, respectively. The mean L1 in the supine and LLD positions was 54.0 +/- 12.7 and 65.6 +/- 14.4 mm, respectively. The mean L2 in the supine and LLD positions was 84.3 +/- 18.5 and 107.0 +/- 25.8 mm, respectively. The results for the measured LCS, L1, and L2 differed significantly between the supine and LLD positions (P < 0.05). This study demonstrated that the LCS could be clearly visualized on longitudinal scanning in the LLD position. Therefore, this position may potentially be more useful for gastric US, even in view of the limitations of this approach.
