In order to determine barium meal radiographic findings characteristic of amyloidosis, we measured the jejunal diameter, valvular width, and intervalvular distance in 25 patients with small bowel amyloidosis and in 30 control individuals, and compared the two groups with each other. As a result, jejunal diameter demonstrated no difference between amyloidosis cases and controls, while there was a significant difference in valvular width or intervalvular distance between the two groups. Our results indicate that objective estimates of the thickening of the valvulae and the shortening of the intervalvular distance by means of measurements of the given roentgenograms greatly contribute to the clinical diagnosis of this disease.
为了确定淀粉样变性的钡餐造影表现特征，我们测量了25例小肠淀粉样变性患者和30例对照个体的空肠直径、瓣膜宽度和瓣膜间距，并对两组进行了比较。结果显示，淀粉样变性病例与对照之间的空肠直径无差异，而两组之间的瓣膜宽度或瓣膜间距存在显著差异。我们的结果表明，通过对给定的X线片进行测量来客观评估瓣膜增厚和瓣膜间距缩短，对该病的临床诊断有很大帮助。
