Ans: 胃鏡及腸胃道攝影都是做食道、胃、十二指腸檢查,胃鏡是將內視鏡由嘴巴進入延伸到胃部做檢查,會有點不舒服,不過看得比較清楚,若有幽門螺旋桿菌也可直接切片檢查,等切片報告結果出來能夠馬上確立診斷;腸胃道攝影檢查是喝鋇劑利用X光攝影顯影出病變部位,若只是表淺性胃炎,可能看不到,不過若有長腫瘤或十二指腸潰瘍病變可看出,但仍需再做一次胃鏡以確立診斷。
Both gastroscopy and upper gastrointestinal photography examines the esophagus, stomach, and the intestines. Gastroscopy is by inserting the gastroscope from mouth all the way to the stomach. It is a little uncomfortable, but it can see clearer. If it is Helicobater pylori positive, the doctors can perform a biopsy. After the results come back, the doctors can immediately do the diagnosis. Upper gastrointestinal photography is drinking barium, which uses X-ray to show the lesion. If it is superficial gastritis, it can’t be seen, but it can see if there is a big lump or intestinal ulcer disease, but you have to do gastroscopy for a closer look.
