This article is a review of gastroesophageal reflux disease, other types of esophagitis, benign and malignant esphageal tumors, varices, lower esophageaal rings, diverticula, and esophAGEal motility disorders, all of which can be diagnosed with the aid of Esophagography.

The diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease should be made by barium studies, but discrete inflammation as well as epithelial dysplasia are best investigated by classic endoscopy and modern endoscopic techniques.

In patients with GERD, a barium swallow describes the anatomy of the esophagus and stomach and an upper endoscopy determines if mucosal injury is present and excludes gastric and duodenal pathology.

Esophagography was useful for the evaluation of morphology and caliber of the esophagogastric channel, while ETS was usefulfor the functional evaluation of esophageal emptying.

Significant improvements in both the ring lumen diameter and the ability to pass a tablet through the esophagus indicate that acid suppression medication is an effective alternative to the use of dilation procedures for the treatment of Schatzki rings.

According to the last guidelines on GERD, these techniques are not recommended in the routine diagnosis of GER/GERD, but they can exclude other disorders which can simulate GERD.

The major value of double-contrast esophagography is its ability to separate patients into high, moderate, and low-risk groups for Barrett's esophagus to determine the relative need for endoscopy and biopsy.

It is suggested that double-contrast barium studies and endoscopy have limited ability to detect reflux esophagitis, in particular mild esophageal cancer, when using the histologic findings as the gold standard, and when radiographic abnormalities are detected, mucosal granularity is the single best sign of reflux Esophagus on double-Contrast studies.

The double-contrast barium study is a sensitive technique for the diagnosis of carcinoma of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction and can be achieved while recommending endoscopy in only about 1% of all patients who undergo barium studies.

The double-contrast examination technique showed an advantage over single- Contrast radiography only if a granular pattern and erosions were the only radiographically detectible features of esophagitis.

Since there appears to be no specific sign of Barrett esophagus, a multifaceted approach is suggested concentrating on the association of Barrett Esophagus with the radiographic signs of severe reflux esophagitis.

In seven cases, double-contrast radiography also revealed a delicate reticular pattern in the esophagus that appears to be a specific radiologic criterion for the diagnosis of Barrett esophageal reflux.

It is indicated that a radiologically granular or nodular appearance of the esophageal mucosa often indicates reflux esophagitis and less commonly identifies diffuse lesions of variable origin.
