Abstract
Of 500 patients referred for an examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract, 15% had radiographic evidence of esophageal disease. A cursory esophageal survey appears to be insufficient. Thorough evaluation should consist of a minimal multiphasic approach involving double- and single-contrast radiography, fluoroscopic studies of motility and a mucosal relief study.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
