There are various methods for examining gastric disorders, with the following being the most common:
1. **Gastroscopy**: Gastroscopy allows direct visualization of the examined area, enabling targeted biopsy of suspicious lesions for histopathological analysis to confirm diagnosis. It is generally the first-line diagnostic method for upper gastrointestinal tract disorders.
2. **Color Doppler Ultrasound of the Gastrointestinal Tract**: This technique objectively displays the morphology, size, extent, and internal structure of lesions, helping to precisely localize them.
