This document discusses radiological investigations of the gastrointestinal tract. It lists the basic investigations as plain X-ray abdomen, ultrasound, contrast fluoroscopic studies like barium swallow and barium meal, CT scan, MRI, and gamma camera imaging. It focuses on contrast fluoroscopic studies, describing barium swallow, barium meal, small bowel contrast studies of barium follow through and enteroclysis, and barium enema to identify pathologies in the gastrointestinal tract.
