Digital X-Ray of Ba-Followthrough double contrast Price in Bangladesh

What is Digital X-Ray of Ba-Followthrough double contrast?

A Digital X-Ray of a Barium Follow-Through with Double Contrast is an imaging procedure used to evaluate the small intestine. The patient ingests a barium contrast material, which outlines the gastrointestinal tract.

Afterward, air is introduced to create a ""double contrast"" effect, enhancing the visibility of the intestinal lining and any abnormalities. This technique is useful for detecting conditions such as Crohn's disease, tumors, strictures, or obstructions in the small bowel.

The procedure allows for detailed assessment of how the barium moves through the intestines. Preparation generally involves fasting, and risks are minimal, including mild discomfort or bloating from the contrast materials.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
