Gastrointestinal Radiology Division
Radiologists in the Gastrointestinal (GI) Radiology
Division perform diagnostic imaging studies of
the GI tract. The GI Division faculty and staff
work closely with gastroenterologists, surgeons,
internists and other specialists to evaluate and
perform studies on patients with known or suspected
GI diseases including:
- esophagrams (barium swallows) – for
patients with difficulty swallowing or reflux
symptoms.
- upper GI studies – for patients with
dyspepsia, epigastric pain, vomiting or other
upper GI conditions.
- small bowel studies – for patients
requiring small bowel follow through studies
and/or small bowel enemas for abdominal pain
or diarrhea.
- barium enemas – for patients with rectal
bleeding, colonic symptoms or colon cancer screening.
For all of these examinations, a “double
contrast” technique is used to detect more
subtle GI abnormalities than conventional barium
studies with no additional risk to patients. Penn’s
GI Division has a national reputation for obtaining
the highest quality imaging studies.
