Great question! If the exam is strictly a barium swallow, the patient will usually be standing upright, and the radiologist or physician can watch the patient swallow contrast in real time using fluoroscopy. However, in most cases, swallows are part of a larger Upper GI (UGI) exam that looks at the esophagus, stomach, and start of the small bowel (duodenum). These exams typically start with the patient standing for the swallowing portion, but then the table is tilted horizontally, and the patient is then imaged in multiple positions (supine, prone, oblique) to investigate different parts of the anatomy. At the same time, in any exam, patient positioning may depend on patient ability, departmental procedures, and exam goals. Please consult a medical professional for specific guidance and discuss any concerns with your radiologist or technologist beforehand if you are scheduled for this type of exam.

It’s okay. One CT Scan is roughly 300 X-rays of radiation. So the X-rays are okay. But try and avoid CT scans if possible ❤

Hi Emma, thank you for the question. First, because this is a lab demonstration, the radiation was turned off-therefore both the patient and rad tech were never at risk of exposure. Second, because lead protection is not mandatory, it's up to each individual facility to set their own rules and regulations regarding lead protection. Finally, radiation from the tube does not expand more than six feet and collimation usually faces either down or towards the wall-and with the rad tech leaving the room prior to exposure, the need for lead protection is minimal. Hope this provides some clarity. Thanks again for the question!

Sounds good ! Thank you for the clarification. @@carestream
