Gastrointestinal radiology

The procedure

Gastrointestinal radiology is a procedure that involves using a form of x-ray called fluoroscopy which allows a barium based contrast material to produce images of the esophagus, stomach and the small intestine to diagnose any pain or abnormalities a patient will feel.

This procedure is non invasive normally used to diagnose conditions such as acid reflux, blood in the stools as well as other gastrointestinal conditions.
