متن کاملHow to Perform and Interpret Timed Barium Esophagogram
Timed barium esophagogram (TBE) is a simple and objective method for assessing the esophageal emptying. The technique of TBE is similar to usual barium swallow with some modifications, which include taking multiple sequential films at pre-decided time interval after a single swallow of a fixed volume of a specific density barium solution.

متن کاملMassive barium sulfate aspiration during upper gastrointestinal contrast material study in an elderly patient with dysphagia
Barium sulfate is an inert material used as a radiographic contrast medium during upper gastrointestinal contrast studies for evaluation of patients with dysphagia. Oral barium aspiration is an uncommon but wellreported complication of this procedure. While barium aspiration of small amounts may not cause any symptoms, massive barium aspiration can be life-threatening, particularly in elderly p...
متن کاملEvaluation of successful treatment in achalasia with timed barium esophagogram: revisiting an old friend
