A member asked:

Hello docs. i was wondering can ultrsound detect gastritis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No it can not: Gastritis is a clinical diagnosis and ultrasound can not detect this condition.Only endoscopy can detect/confirm the diagnosis of gastritis by direct vision by scope and by taking a biopsy to see the pathological changes.
