An upper gastrointestinal (GI) series is a diagnostic test that examines the structures of the upper digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine (duodenum). It helps to identify issues such as ulcers, tumors, inflammation, or blockages in these areas. The test involves swallowing a contrast material that shows up on X-ray images to visualize the internal structures.

Some common types of barium studies include barium swallow (esophagram) to evaluate the esophagus, barium meal (upper GI series) to assess the stomach and small intestine, and barium enema (lower GI series) to examine the large intestine and rectum. These studies involve swallowing or administering a contrast material containing barium that shows up clearly on X-rays, allowing the radiologist to visualize the structures and identify any abnormalities.
