Barium Swallow
We provide Barium Swallow tests to evaluate the upper digestive system. This test uses barium contrast material to see the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine.
Key Features of Barium Swallow
- Imaging of the upper gastrointestinal tract:Barium Swallow is used to capture X-ray pictures of the upper digestive system, which includes the esophagus, stomach, and the start of the small intestine.
- Identification of anomalies:The process aids in identifying irregularities like constrictions, sores, growths, and other issues impacting the upper gastrointestinal tract.
- Assessment of Swallowing Ability:
Barium Swallow is crucial for evaluating swallowing function and detecting problems like dysphagia or reflux. - Imaging in real-time:
Live X-ray imaging enables real-time visualization of barium movement in the digestive system while swallowing. - Not requiring surgery and causing no pain:
The Barium Swallow procedure is painless and non-invasive, providing a comfortable experience for patients.
