Digital Barium Swallow of Oesophagus including Hiatus Hernia

A Digital Barium Swallow of the Esophagus, including Hiatus Hernia, is an imaging procedure used to evaluate the esophagus and check for a hiatus hernia. The patient swallows a barium contrast medium, which coats the esophagus and upper digestive tract, making it visible on X-ray images. The study helps diagnose conditions such as reflux, strictures, tumors, swallowing difficulties, and specifically a hiatus hernia, where part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest. The procedure provides dynamic images of the swallowing process and movement of barium. Preparation usually involves fasting for several hours, with minimal risks such as mild discomfort or allergic reactions to the barium.
