The wide extension of mass surveys of the stomach to detect gastric diseases, especially gastric cancer in its early stages, will cause a shortage of these medical specialists who are necessary to diagnose so many roentgenograms. Picture processing by an electronic computer system seems to be useful in this area so as to assist medical doctors.
