An evaluation of the double contrast barium meal (DCBM) against endoscopy

H Herlinger et al. Clin Radiol. 1977 May.

Abstract

The diagnostic accuracy of the DCBM and of endoscopy were compared in 50 consecutive patients. Examinations were conducted in comparable circumstances, without any cross information. A percentage score method was evolved to allow a numerically more significant assessment. The potential accuracy of the DCBM was calculated to be 96% of that accorded to fibre-endoscopy.
