How Are Diseases Of The GI Tract Diagnosed?
A range of diagnostic procedures are available at the Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital to help pinpoint the cause of symptoms that occur with these diseases. Sometimes other studies such as x-ray, CT scan, MRI, ultrasound or nuclear scan are used to diagnose GI diseases. However, endoscopy has the advantage of direct visualization of the gastrointestinal tract lining. This is becoming more important for the evaluation of symptoms in gastroenterological diseases.
