Overview
Barium studies cannot diagnose esophagitis but are helpful in identifying any underlying anatomical abnormalities such as strictures or rings.
Barium Swallow X-ray Findings
Eosinophilic esophagitis
- Barium studies cannot diagnose EoE but are helpful in identifying any underlying anatomical abnormalities such as strictures, rings, etc.[1][2][3]
- They also help to rule out the other causes of dysphagia.
- Findings in barium swallow imaging of eosionphilic esophagitis include multiple rings
Reflux esophagitis
- Barium swallow radiograph is not recommended in diagnosis of reflux esophagitis.[4]
- Barium swallow chest X ray has low sensitivity. However, it is used to identify esophagitis, esophageal erosions, and ulcers.
- Findings in barium swallow imaging include the following:
- Free acid reflux
- Oesophagitis with scarring
- Strictures

- Irregular shaggy outline of the esopahgeal mucosal surface with multiple pseudodiverticulosis.
