Barium Swallow near me in Navi Mumbai

The Barium Swallow is a special non-invasive imaging test that evaluates the structure and function of the esophagus, throat, and upper digestive tract. It involves swallowing a barium solution that highlights the digestive tract on X-rays, helping doctors diagnose conditions such as swallowing disorders, gastroesophageal reflux, ulcers, tumors, or esophageal blockages. It is available at an affordable price near you in Navi Mumbai with our partnered labs.

During this test, you will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, or other objects that may get in the way of the swallowing test. The radiologist will ask you to swallow a thick, chalky barium drink. As you swallow the barium, the radiologist will take images via X-rays or fluoroscopy to watch the barium moving through your mouth and throat. You may be asked to hold your breath at certain times during the test. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you may return to your regular diet and activities after a barium swallow test.
