Overview
If a peptic ulcer perforates, air will leak from the inside of the gastrointestinal tract (which always contains some air) to the peritoneal cavity (which normally never contains air). This leads to "free gas" within the peritoneal cavity. If the patient stands erect, as when having a chest X-ray, the gas will float to a position underneath the diaphragm. Therefore, gas in the peritoneal cavity, shown on an erect chest X-ray or supine lateral abdominal X-ray, is an omen of perforated peptic ulcer disease.
X Ray
There are no abdominal x-ray findings associated with peptic ulcer disease. However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosing the complications of underlying disease. Findings of abdominal X-ray in perforated peptic ulcer include free air under the diaphragm called as pneumoperitoneum.[1][2]
Barium swallow
The barium swallow is also used to diagnose peptic ulcer and to differentiate between benign and malignant ulcer.[5]
Distinguishing features between benign and malignant ulcer
Barium swallow helps to distinguish between benign and malignant ulcer
| Barium swallow findings | |
|---|---|
| Benign ulcer | Malignant ulcer |
| Smooth rounded and deep ulcer crater | Irregular and shallow ulcer crater |
| Smooth ulcer mound | Nodular and angular ulcer mound |
| Smooth folds that reach the margin of the ulcer | Nodular gastric folds that do not reach the ulcer margin |
