How to Check for Esophageal Diseases

The method of examining esophageal disease includes X-ray barium meal examination, fiberoptic gastroscopy, cytology examination, etc.

1. X-ray barium meal

examination is a combination of barium agent and X-ray, so as to image the esophagus, which helps to find thin barium flow in the lesion segment, stiff esophageal wall, weakened peristalsis, rough edges, etc.

2. fiberoptic gastroscopy

can directly observe the shape, size, etc. of esophageal lesions, and can extract tissue cells for pathological examination.

3. cytology examination

By taking cells from the lesion site, cytology examination helps to clarify the type of disease.
