Gastrointestinal Imaging

Gastrointestinal radiology includes imaging examinations of the throat, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas as well as the small and large intestine. These organs are examined by fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.

Fluoroscopic examinations include:
  • Swallowing study
  • Esophagram
  • Upper GI series (UGI)
  • Small bowel series (SBS)
  • Enteroclysis
  • Barium enema (BE)
  • Stomal examinations
  • Oral cholecystogram (OCG)

Cross-sectional Imaging includes:

  • CT
  • MRI
  • Ultrasound
  • CT Angiography

Special Procedures:

  • Image guided biopsy
  • Visceral angiography, embolization, thrombolysis and angioplasty
  • Transhepatic cholangiogram (THC or PTC)

Herniography is a special x-ray examination designed to specifically detect hernias of the groin and other hernias of the abdomen which elude diagnosis by physical examination.
