Topographic Analysis of the Morphometric Location of the Stomach

Relevance of the research. During a simple X-ray examination of the abdominal cavity, the presence of air in the stomach, swallowed with food or during a conversation, can be seen. In the vertical position, the air forms a gastric bubble, and in the horizontal position it moves to the upper part of the stomach. In the horizontal position on the back, the air bubble moves to the lower part of the body, to the sinus and antrum, which leads to their appearance. If the upper parts of the stomach are significantly tilted back, for example, in a hypersthenic person, in some cases the gastric wall may be visible. In direct projection with a tangential direction of the rays along the tilted part of the stomach in the left hypochondrium, the shadow is determined in the form of a dense formation of a round or irregular shape, in the center of which there may be a clearing. occurs as a result of air accumulation.
