Several types of scans can be used to examine the stomach, depending on what the doctor is looking for. According to available references, common imaging tests for gastric conditions include:
- Upper Gastrointestinal Series (UGI)
- Ultrasounds
- MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
- CT Scans (Computed Tomography)
- X-rays
For a clearer view of the gastrointestinal tract, a barium swallow or barium enema may be used in conjunction with an X-ray.
