"I've been here several times for ultrasounds and have always had a positive experience. Victoria, the technician who performed my ultrasounds, was courteous and knowledgeable, and I felt at ease throughout the scan. The lady at the reception was always easy to talk to and gave all the necessary information. There was never a long wait to get in." - Iryna I.

What are the reasons for an upper GI series?
An upper GI series may be performed to diagnose structural or functional abnormalities of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. These abnormalities may include, but are not limited to:

- Ulcers. Ulcers may be gastric (stomach) or enteric (duodenum)
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Inflammation (esophagitis, gastritis, or duodenitis) or infection
- Benign tumors. Nonmalignant
- Cancer
- Structural problems. Such as diverticula, strictures, or polyps (growths)
- Hiatal hernia. Upward movement of the stomach, either into or alongside the esophagus
- Dysphagia. Difficulty swallowing
- Motility disorders. Difficulty moving foods through the pharynx or esophagus
- Chest and/or abdominal pain
- Unexplained vomiting and/or indigestion
- Bloody bowel movements

There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend an upper GI series.

The Renal Captopril Study is particularly useful in diagnosing renovascular hypertension, a form of high blood pressure caused by the narrowing of the renal arteries. The study helps assess the impact of captopril on renal blood flow and function, providing valuable information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

It's important for individuals undergoing a Renal Captopril Study to follow any pre-procedure instructions provided by their healthcare provider and to inform the medical team of any relevant medical history or medications.

More specifically, the HIDA scan tracks the flow of bile from your liver to your small intestine. This is known as the biliary system.

Your liver makes bile (digestive fluid) that helps your body break down the fat in the food you eat. Certain ducts (biliary ducts) carry bile from your liver to your gallbladder for storage. Your gallbladder is a small sac under your liver on your right side at the level of your lower ribs. When you eat food, your gallbladder contracts (squeezes) and releases stored bile through ducts into the first part of your small intestine (the duodenum) to help break down the fats.

If any part of this process isn’t working properly, it can cause certain symptoms and conditions, which a HIDA scan can help diagnose.

Other names for a HIDA scan include cholescintigraphy and hepatobiliary scintigraphy.
