The high transverse stomach is considered the type most difficult to examine, which is most frequently encountered in the very obese patient. And so, despite the use of multiple projections, parts of the contour of these stomach, particularly in the region of the upper corpus, occasionally elude full visualization. All of these consideration limit diagnostic accuracy. With this problem in mind, the author has utilized a new projection to minimize the amount of overlapping of the various portions of the stomach. This projection has the virture of "opening up" the stomach, so to speak, by projecting the fufundus and upper portion of the body upward and the antrum same as in the ordinary sthenic individual. RESULTS : 1. There have been 6 isolated instances in which the projection made possible a diagnosis which was not otherwise apparent either at fluoroscopy or on routine roentgenographic study. 2. And there have been 5 cases in which it gave considerable anatomical detail concerning the localization of the lesion and it was useful in confirming an otherwise equivocal diagnosis.diagnosis.
