Overview

X ray imaging suggestive for associated problems with GERD include free acid reflux, esophagitis with scarring, strictures, and barrett's esophagus.

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:
    • Free acid reflux
    • Oesophagitis with scarring
    • Strictures
    • Barrett oesophagus
