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 findings of peptic ulcer seen on X-ray abdomen but complications of peptic ulcer like peptic ulcer perforation findings can be seen on erect X-ray abdomen and chest X-ray is free air under the diaphragm.[1]
Barium swallow
The peptic ulcer can be diagnosed using barium swallow.Gastric ulcer can be seen ovoid and round on barium swallow.Linear ulcers are seen in healing stages.
