Abstract
The understanding of gastrointestinal diseases has changed dramatically during the past four decades. Many of these changes may be attributed to successful technical and pharmacological developments, typified by fibre-optic techniques and the detection and eradication of Helicobacter pylori. Endoscopic investigation of the gastrointestinal tract and endoscopic treatments continue to play increasing roles. During the same period radiology has contributed to the understanding of motility disorders, tumour biology, and the spread of tumour.
