Overview
X Ray
Barium Swallow
In patients who have dysphagia, testing may first be done to exclude an anatomical cause of dysphagia, where there is a distortion of the anatomy of the esophagus. This usually includes visualization of the esophagus with an endoscope, and can also include barium swallow x-rays of the esophagus.[1] Barium swallow in nutcracker esophagus is also typically normal.[2]
