Correlation Between Computerized Tomography Findings and DeMeester Score and Esophagogastroduodenoscopy Findings in Patients with GERD-like Symptoms

Abstract

Objective: Radiological imaging has a limited role in the initial diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) without complications. This study aimed to investigate the correlation with the presence of hiatal hernia (HH), the number of hiatal area pixels, the angle of His on computerized tomography (CT) imaging, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) findings, and DeMeester scores in patients with GERD-like symptoms.
