This report describes a survey of all barium contrast radiological examinations carried out in the years 1967-70 by the unit that serves 99% of the adult population of North-east Scotland. The survey method used yields useful estimates, not otherwise available, of the occurrence of some forms of alimentary lesions within a whole community. Rates of occurrence by age and sex were recorded for all lesions. The data on peptic ulceration, were compared with those from South-east and from North England, and this showed that duodenal, but not gastric, ulceration is much commoner in North-east Scotland. Occurrence rates for most lesions have been nearly unchanged throughout the four years of survey. The data provide a measure of the work load for these radiological examinations for a given population.
本报告描述了对1967年至1970年间由为苏格兰东北部99%的成年人口服务的单位所进行的所有钡剂造影放射学检查的一项调查。所采用的调查方法得出了在整个社区内某些形式的消化道病变发生率的有用估计值，而这些估计值无法通过其他方式获得。记录了所有病变按年龄和性别的发生率。将消化性溃疡的数据与来自英格兰东南部和北部的数据进行了比较，结果表明十二指肠溃疡而非胃溃疡在苏格兰东北部更为常见。在四年的调查期间，大多数病变的发生率几乎没有变化。这些数据提供了针对特定人群的这些放射学检查工作量的一种衡量标准。
