Gastrointestinal examinations: oesophagus and
stomach
During the examination of the alimentary tract, the esophagus can be
analysed, in radioscopy in continuous manner, following the course of the
contrast mean after executing the centring on the hypopharynx. This
procedure can be carried out by moving the X-ray tube and DR detector group
downwards.
The examination of the stomach can be executed by tilting the table a few
degrees, so that the patient can stand in a more comfortable position and, at
the same time, better adhere to the tabletop so as to further reduce the
distance between examination area and detector. Possible angles of the X-ray
tube column can be useful to better put on evidence the little curve of the
intestine or the duodenal bulb as well as the morphological characters of the
stomach.
