An examination in which barium is swallowed and X-ray imaging is used to assess the shape and mucosa of the stomach
What Barium Study (Upper GI X-Ray Contrast Examination) can reveal & when to get it
This examination involves swallowing barium (a contrast agent) and inflating the stomach with a effervescent agent, then taking X-ray images to assess the shape of the stomach and any irregularities or deformities in the mucosal surface. It provides a clear overall view of the stomach's structure and is widely used in organized gastric cancer screening programs.
Main conditions it can detect and evaluate
- Gastric cancer
- Gastric and duodenal ulcers
- Gastric polyps
- Esophageal passage disorders
- Gastric deformities and protrusions
When to consider this test
This is one of the national gastric cancer screening methods. The standard recommendation is once every 2 years for individuals aged 50 and older (for the time being, annual screening starting from age 40 is also permitted).
Screening interval: Once every 2 years for those aged 50 and older is the general guideline (as a transitional special provision for the time being, annual screening from age 40 is also permitted).
Benefits
- ○Provides a comprehensive view of the entire stomach in a single examination
- ○Can be completed in a relatively short amount of time
- ○Has a long track record as an organized screening method
Points to note when getting tested
- !Small lesions and color changes in the mucosa are harder to detect than with endoscopy
- !Involves exposure to X-ray radiation
- !Adequate fluid intake and a laxative are required after the examination to help expel the barium
- !If abnormalities are found, a follow-up endoscopic examination is necessary
