Barium swallow. Little or no preparations are required for the study of the larynx, pharynx, and esophagus when studied alone. A thick barium mixture is swallowed in supine position and fluoroscopic images of the swallowing process are made.
The barium sulfate used in a barium swallow is a non-radioactive contrast agent that will help your doctor and radiologist to better see the outline of your throat and esophagus. The addition of the barium to your swallow allows the normal x-ray to visualize soft tissue that is normally invisible.
