X-RAY



Barium Swallow X-RAY Test


The test done after drinking barium is like an X-ray test, through which problems in your throat, esophagus, stomach and small intestine are examined. You are fed a white, chalk-like fluid called barium, which allows images of these areas to be drawn via X-rays. If you are feeding your baby, you are pregnant or you think you are about to have it, let the staff know before you take an x-ray. Arrive on time for your test. This test takes 15 to 45 minutes. You may have to stay for 6 hours or even more if your small intestine is being examined.  Diagnostic Centre in Gandhi Nagar
