X-rays of the gastrointestinal tract with photothrical drugs are diagnostic imaging methods to assess the anatomy structure of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal X-rays with edictao include: Upper gastrointestinal X-ray (gastroesophageal imaging) and lower (colon frame imaging).

1. What is an X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract with photothrification?

The upper gastrointestinal X-ray is an imaging method to assess the antomical structure of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The ere, stomach and duodenum (the head of the intestine) will be clearly highlighted on the X-ray film thanks to the photoc blocker. This contrast can be a barite solution or contrast that is soluble in water. If only photothrobes are used to assess the pharynx and rynx, this process is called barite swallowing. X-rays use invisible beams of electrical energy to produce tissue images in internal organs, bones or organs on film. X-rays that a procedure uses X-rays to reconstruct the images of the bodies in the body help the doctor to make a diagnosis of the disease. When shooting, X-rays will penetrate your body and smash into a shield behind you from which to give the image.

2. When should you perform an X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract with photothrification?

X-rays with upper gastrointestinal obstruction are performed while finding out some of the following causes:

  • Find out the causes of gastrointestinal symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, vomiting, belching, ingestion
  • Find out where the stenosis in the upper intestinal tract is caused by ulcerative inflammation, tumors, amenity stenosis …
  • Find out the area of enteritis, poorly absorbed syndrome, intestinal movement problems to push food away (bowel movements disorders)

Normally, patients will not have to take an X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract with photothrification if you do not have gastrointestinal symptoms. You should take this test if:

  • Difficulty swallowing food.
  • Suspected obstruction in the intestines.
  • Abdominal pain that is remission or worse during eating.
  • Heartburn occurs frequently.

3. Things to keep in mind when taking a digestive X-ray with a edicta

Today thanks to development, endoscopy is carried out as an alternative to the upper gastrointestinal X-ray test with photothrification. Endoscopy uses a small, soft tube to observe the este, stomach and duodenum.

Upper gastrointestinal X-ray test with photothrification:

  • Irritation of the gastric mucosa (gastritis) or esophagus (esophagitis) cannot be shown or ulcers smaller than 0.25 inches (6 mm) in diameter.
  • Bacterial infections cannot be detected: Helicobacter pylori (a bacterium that can cause peptic ulcer).
  • When an abnormality is detected, a biop biopy cannot be performed during an X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract with photothrification.

Before proceeding with this medical technique, patients should understand the warnings and take note. If you have any questions, consult your doctor for more specific information and guidance.

4. Procedure performed when a digestive X-ray has a edicta

4.1. What should the patient prepare before performing an X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract with photothrification?

The person will be asked to switch to a temporary low-fiber diet. The doctor will also tell the patient not to eat, or smoke after midnight on the eve of the test.

Before performing an X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract with photolips, the patient will have to wear a hospital gown and be told to remove all jewelry including chest piercings, umbilical cord piercings, dentures, hairpins or other items that may appear on X-rays if not removed.

Ask the medical staff if they need to change the dose of the medications they are taking. It is usual to continue taking the drug as usual. Do not change the dose yourself without notifying the medical staff.

Patients will be asked to remove jewelry on their neck, chest or abdomen before testing.

4.2. How does the process of performing an X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract are photo-in-fact?

The patient will perform an X-ray test before taking the ba bai compound. The compound will then be swallowed several times during a follow-up X-ray. The imaging doctor will tell when to drink and drink water in what amount. Typically, patients may have to drink 1 glass (240 ml) or 2.5 glasses (600 ml) of baton compound during the test.

The photocline doctor looks at the amount of basial flowing down the gastrointestinal path using fluorescent and X-ray images. The patient's bed will be re-positioned and the patient will also change position to let the bari flow down the body. It is possible that the technician will lightly press on the patient's abdomen with a belt or with the hands of the technician. The patient may be asked to cough for the doctor to diagnose the image observing the flow of the bai.

If a gas contrast substance is used, the patient will take a sip of baton liquid with a straw with a gas-forming drug in the stomach. Thanks to this amount of gas, the doctor can see the gastric and intestinal mucosa in more detail.

If the patient has a test in the small intestine, the imaging doctor will look at the bai flow through the small intestine down to the large intestine. X-ray images are taken in 30 minutes.

The testing process will take about 30-40 minutes. If the test adds a small intestine, it will last 2-6 hours. In some cases, patients are required to return after 24 hours to obtain additional X-rays.

4.3. What should patients do after performing an X-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract with photothrification?

When done, patients can eat or drink things according to their preferences, unless the doctor recommends not to eat. In addition, patients may be given laxatives or enema to discharge ba bai from the intestines after testing to prevent constipation. Drink plenty of water for a few days to discharge the bar.

If you have any questions about the procedure, consult your doctor for advice and answers.

Patients may take laxatives after gastrointestinal X-rays

5. X-ray of the lower gastrointestinal tract (colon frame) with photohide

Methods of diagnosing colon imaging progress over time, causing the role and number of X-rays – photoctures of the colon to be decreasing . However, photo-obstructive colon imaging is still used in traditional imaging departmentes around the world to ensure patients receive high-quality diagnostic and treatment services.

5.1. Basic shooting specifications and techniques

There are two main techniques for baryt colorectal imaging: single contrast and double contrast to reveal mucosal lesions, lesions in the colon wall, and external pressure damage. Single photothrity is often used to assess colon obstruction, colon fistula, imaging for the elderly, severe or weak patients. Dual fluorescent imaging is often used to detect minor lesions (<1cm), các bệnh viêm ruột, và đánh giá chi tiết hình ảnh trực tràng.

Preparing patients for colon cleansing and shooting poses is decisive in the quality of the shooting film.

5. 2. Normal x-ray anatomy

The colon is the last part of the digestive tract, 1.4 m to 1.8 m long, including: the clues of the colon and appendix in the right pelvis, followed by the colon going up close to the right abdominal wall to the lower side of the right liver, the horizontal colon horizontally to the left to the spleen, the colon descending along the left abdominal wall to the left pelvic cavity , the sigma colon goes to the baby's hip pelvis, the rectum stands upright in front of the spleleum. The colon has two folds: the right corner of the colon or the corner of the liver and the corner of the left colon or the spleen angle. The colon is up and the colon down is relatively fixed.

Anti-fluorescent colon x-rays are commonly considered by doctors in diagnosing a variety of colon diseases, including colon cancer. Before a photo-obstructing colon scan, the colon needs to be hollowed out to ensure that the film image is not blurred and there is no confusion between the lesions in the colon. In addition, for the most accurate results, the examiner should also apply a special diet that is a diet that does not cause a backlog before 2 days, the food is not much fiber, fermented. Patients will also receive laxatives and dosing twice before the procedure for a few hours.

The examiner was taken in various poses, images of colon segments such as sigma, rectum, left spleen angle, liver angle, clues, colon up … recorded for the doctor to assess the condition of each person's injury.

5.3. Some lesions are evaluated in X-rays – photo-ray of the colon with photo-resistance

X-ray results of contrast colon scans may not detect any abnormalities and your doctor will recommend a scan after a certain time, depending on the specific case.

In addition to observing physical lesions such as size abnormalities (long colon, congenital shortness), surface abnormalities … X-rays of the colon with photoathetroscopy can detect diseases such as:

Colon aneurysm

Congenital colon aneurysm (Hirschsprung) is a disease that causes chronic constipation in children due to colon lymphadenopathy. Photo by X-ray of the colon using baryt-inscent agents for enlarged sigma colon imaging, small atrophied rectum, long colon, unevenly infused drugs in the lymph nodes.

Polyp lesions

The polyps resemble small pimples, which grow from the mucous layer of the intestine and protrude into the intestines or sometimes grow on the peduncle. Some polyps may be flat, some people have several polyps scattered in different parts of the colon… Colon polyps can be superastic polyps, glandular polyps or excess tissue polyps. In which gland tumor polyps are believed to be a predecessor to colorectal cancer.

Lymphocytic erging

Image of small diameter nodules, only 1 – 3mm in size of the lymphocytes characterized by bright defects or seen at the end of the ileum and ileum.

Colitis

Colitis is one of the increasingly common gastrointestinal diseases. X-ray images of the colon using photoresic agents can lose tubular colons, ulcers, fake polyps …

X-rays of the gastrointestinal tract with photothrical drugs are diagnostic imaging methods to assess the anatomy structure of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, patients should choose reputable medical facilities with enough modern medical machinery to implement this technique.
