Overview

There are no other imaging findings associated with GERD. However, Endoscopy may be used in screening for the complications associated with chronic GERD like barrett's esophagus.

Other Imaging Findings

Endoscopy

  • The endoscope has been before one of the diagnostic tools for GERD.
  • Endoscopy is not recommended now for the diagnosis of GERD with the typical symptoms, however, it is used in screening for the GERD complications as esophagitis, esophageal strictures, and barret's esophagus.[1]
  • Endoscopy is also beneficial in doing biopsies in the screening of barrett's esophagus.
