Overview
There are no x-ray findings associated with heartburn.
X-ray may be used though, for differential diagnosis such as esophageal strictures or hiatal hernia.
X-Ray
Barium swallow radiograph
- Barium swallow radiograph is not recommended in diagnosis of GERD.[1]
- Barium swallow chest X ray has low sensitivity. However, it is used to identify associated problems with GERD like esophagitis, esophageal erosions, and ulcers.
- Findings in barium swallow imaging include the following:
Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Series
A series of x-rays of the upper digestive system are taken after drinking a barium solution. These can demonstrate reflux of barium into the esophagus, which suggests the possibility of gastroesophageal reflux disease. More accurately, fluoroscopy can be used to document reflux in real-time.
