Xray Barium Swallow

Alternate Name :

Barium Swallow X-ray, xray upper GI, Barium Swallow test, xray Barium Swallow

An X-ray Barium Swallow is a diagnostic imaging test used to examine the upper gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine, by administering a contrast medium (barium) orally. It helps in detecting abnormalities such as ulcers, strictures, or tumors.

Preparation :

  1. Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing without any metal accessories such as zippers, buttons, or jewelry. You may be asked to change into a gown provided by the lab for the X-ray procedure.

  2. Accessories: Remove any metal objects, such as jewelry, belts, watches, or piercings, as they can interfere with the X-ray imaging.

  3. Inform the Technicians: Inform the X-ray technicians if you are pregnant or suspect you might be pregnant. It's essential to take necessary precautions to protect the fetus from radiation exposure.

  4. Previous X-rays: If you have any previous X-ray images or reports relevant to the current examination, bring them along for comparison.

  5. Medical History: Provide your complete medical history, including any past surgeries, implants, or medical conditions, to ensure accurate interpretation of the X-ray results.

  6. Follow Instructions: Follow all instructions given by the X-ray technicians carefully to ensure the success of the procedure and obtain clear images.

  7. Relax: Stay relaxed and calm during the X-ray procedure. The technicians will guide you through the process and ensure your comfort throughout the examination.

By following these preparation notes, you can help ensure a smooth and successful X-ray testing experience at our lab.

Why it is done :

  • Evaluating the structure and function of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine for abnormalities such as ulcers, strictures, or tumors.
  • Detecting conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatal hernia, or esophageal cancer affecting the upper gastrointestinal tract.
  • Assessing the motility and coordination of swallowing function for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • What to bring :

    When coming in for your Xray test, remember to bring:
