Images are made by using a special form of X-ray called fluoroscopy and a contrast material such as barium that you take by mouth. Fluoroscopy makes it possible to see internal organs in motion. When the upper GI tract is coated with barium, the radiologist can see the esophagus, stomach ...
USE OF ROADMAP FLUOROSCOPY IN UPPER GI ENDOSCOPYdoi:10.1055/s-0040-1705058Weigt, JElhossary, WObst, WMaciej, PEndoscopy
fluoroscopy to determine whether there was leakage of the contrast agent from the stomach or duodenum and x-ray films were taken for analysis.The result was positive for upper GI tract perforation if contrast agent leakage was present and vice versa.Results:All the 112 patients underwent gastro...
The videoclip is of a lateral view on videofluoroscopy in a patient with a cricopharyngeal bar, which is seen impinging on the barium column posteriorly (arrow). Note that after completion of the initial swallow there is slight retention of residue in the valleculae and piriform sinuses. Thi...
Fluoroscopy with barium or iodinated oral contrast has no role in the evaluation of acute UGIB. Positive oral contrast in the GI tract obscures active hemorrhage and may interfere with subsequent endoscopy, angiography, or CT. For patients with failed endoscopic localization of bleeding, arteriography...
Open circles indicate UES opening observed by videofluoroscopy. Although hyoid bone movement during swallowing was invariably upward, forward, and counterclockwise, its movement during belching was mainly anterior and clockwise. The magnitude of hyoid bone movement during belching was significantly less th...

Upper GI fluoroscopyBACKGROUND: The best radiographic modality to diagnose staple line leaks following bariatric surgery remains controversial. Two common studies used are upper gastrointestinal (UGI) fluoroscopy and computed tomography (CT). This study sought to determine the better modality in detecting...
