Abstract
Gastritis is a histologic diagnosis. To understand gastritis, the radiologist must have some working knowledge of gastric histology and pathology. Therefore, this article first describes normal histologic and radiologic anatomy. The pathology of gastritis is then presented to give the radiologist a basis for understanding the radiologic findings. Finally, gastritis is discussed from a clinical and radiologic perspective.
