Ans.A. Barium meal follow-through
* A small bowel follow-through is a single contrast study (oral contrast, either barium or water-soluble contrast).
* It is often performed after an upper GI fluoroscopy study, as the contrast column moves from the stomach and duodenum to the small bowel.
* Most small bowel contrast examinations performed as a part of an upper GI series- barium meal and follow-through.
* The small bowel follow-through can be useful for evaluation of:
-strictures
– obstruction
– diverticula
– masses
– extraluminal tethering
– abnormal motility
