May demonstrate reflux and hiatal hernias

Stricture or narrowing of esophagus A - Left hepatic
duct Shows as irregular filling within stomach on x-ray Appears with absense of rugae, thin gastric wall, and "speckled" appearance of mucosa with acute cases Gastric bubble or protruding aspect of stomach above diaphragm or Schlatzki's ring Distention of stomach owing to obstruction of pylorus Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis Punctate collection of barium and "halo" sign in stomach Thickening of mucosal folds and poor definition of circular folds in small intestine Inflammatory condition of the large intestine.
