1. What does an upper GI or barium swallow diagnose?
Correct answer: An upper GI series/barium swallow visualizes the esophagus,
stomach, and sometimes the proximal small intestine to identify structural or
functional abnormalities.
Rationale: Barium contrast outlines the upper gastrointestinal tract on X-ray, helping
reveal abnormalities such as narrowing, obstruction, or altered anatomy.
2. Describe the role of ultrasound in diagnosing acute cholecystitis and its effectiveness in
identifying cystic duct obstruction.
Ultrasound is effective in diagnosing acute cholecystitis by visualizing gallstones and assessing cystic duct
obstruction.
Ultrasound is primarily used for liver function tests.
Ultrasound is not useful in diagnosing any abdominal conditions.
Ultrasound can only assess liver size, not gallbladder issues.
