The Road to an IBD Diagnosis
The upper and lower gastrointestinal Barium X-Rays are useful is IBD, specifically Crohn's disease, is detected in the small intestine. The patient will swallow a Barium solution, which passes into the small intestine and illuminates on an X-Ray. The X-ray will reveal any inflammation, ulcers or other abnormalities that may suggest IBD.
