[Infrared spectroscopy in assessment of the morpho-functional stomach changes at ulcerous pyloroduodenal stenosis].

In the present study authors have analyzed the suitability of the infrared (IR) spectroscopy for diagnosis of morphological and functional changes of the stomach in ulcer pyloroduodenal stenosis. Data obtained from 64 patients have shown that the IR spectroscopic features of the stomach were dependent on the stage of stenosis, secretory function of the stomach and the presence of the Helicobacter Pylori (HP) infection. IR spectroscopy can be a multi-purpose mean of assessment of the morphological and functional properties of the stomach in pyloroduodenal stenosis.
