@_itsmaxwell: Getting some barium ready for an esophagram fluoroscopy study! Comment below if you’d like a whole video dedicated this! For those who are un-aware of what barium is and why we use it. Barium is a dry, white, chalky powder that is mixed with water to make barium liquid. Barium is an X-ray absorber and appears white on X-ray. A barium X-ray is a radiographic examination of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Barium X-rays (also called upper and lower GI series) are used to diagnose abnormalities of the GI tract, such as tumors, ulcers and other inflammatory conditions, polyps, hernias, and strictures. #radiology #radiologytechnologist #xraytech #student #fluroscopy #xray #studytok #medicalstudent #radiologist #abdomen #doctor #medicine
