Check the esophagus. What's the instrument?

Examination of the esophagus can be done by esophagoscopy, high-resolution esophageal manometry, X-ray barium meal, esophageal

ultrasound.1. Esophagoscopy

Esophagoscopy is a common examination method. By inserting a flexible fiber-optic endoscope into the throat to reach the esophagus and stomach, doctors can directly observe and evaluate the condition of the esophagus.

2. High-resolution esophageal manometry High-resolution esophageal

manometry is a method of measuring esophageal muscle movement and esophageal pressure. By placing a thin tube in the esophagus and measuring pressure changes at different positions, esophageal peristaltic function can be evaluated to help diagnose esophageal motility disorders and other diseases.

3. X-ray barium meal

patients need to drink a liquid containing contrast agent, and then take images of esophagus through X-ray, which can detect esophageal stricture, esophageal impingement, esophageal diverticulum and other problems

.

Esophageal ultrasound is an examination method that uses ultrasound to observe and evaluate the esophagus. By placing an ultrasound probe on the chest or abdomen, real-time images of the esophagus can be obtained and help diagnose esophageal tumors, inflammation and other diseases.
