Barium Swallow Test

A barium swallow is an X-beam assessment of the upper gastrointestinal plot. It includes gulping an answer containing barium sulfate, a metallic compound that is handily envisioned on X-beam pictures. Barium covers the dividers of the pharynx and throat and seems white on the pictures.

It tends to be followed as it travels through the stomach-related framework by playing out a progression of X-beams. A barium swallow can assist with recognizing issues with gulping and analyzing irregularities of the throat and stomach.
