What is Digital Barium meal study of Stomach, Duodenum?
A Digital Barium Meal Study of the Stomach and Duodenum is an imaging procedure used to evaluate the upper gastrointestinal tract. The patient swallows a barium contrast medium, which coats the stomach and duodenum, allowing these areas to be clearly seen on X-ray images.
The study helps diagnose conditions like ulcers, tumors, inflammation, strictures, or abnormalities in the digestive system. The procedure provides detailed views of the stomach lining and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Preparation typically involves fasting for several hours. Risks include mild discomfort, bloating, or rare allergic reactions to the barium.
