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 swallow test, or esophagram, is useful for investigating patients with a variety of complaints that may be due to abnormalities within the esophagus. A few examples of such symptoms include difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), heartburn (dyspepsia), or gastroesophageal reflux (GERD).
