The swallowing tract extends from the lips to the gastric cardia. The barium swallow provides a global view of oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal motility and pharyngeal and esophageal morphology. Barium pharyngography is the best test to assess the functional capabilities of the pharynx. The barium swallow may be used as the sole diagnostic examination or as a guide to what procedure or intervention should be forthcoming.
吞咽通道从嘴唇延伸至胃贲门。吞钡检查可全面观察口腔、咽部及食管的运动功能以及咽部和食管的形态。钡剂咽造影是评估咽部功能的最佳检查方法。吞钡检查可作为唯一的诊断性检查，也可作为后续应采取何种程序或干预措施的指导。
