ABSTRACT

This study assessed the role of barium contrast in detecting esophageal disorders through barium swallow investigations in 30 patients aged 20 to 80. Using descriptive statistics, the findings revealed that dysphagia was the main complaint in 19 patients (63.33%), with the most common abnormalities being narrowing in the distal esophagus and esophageal cancer. The results indicated that barium examinations are effective for identifying esophageal abnormalities, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Overall, barium contrast proves to be a vital imaging technique for diagnosing various esophageal disorders.
