Overview

There are no other imaging findings associated with [disease name].

OR

[Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

Other Imaging Findings

  • There are no other imaging findings associated with [disease name].
  • Barium esophagography
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease is the most common cause of strictures in the distal esophagus. Esophageal stricture due to gastroesophageal reflux disease may be associated with **sacculations
    • fixed transverse folds
**esophageal intramural pseudodiverticula   
  • Endoscopic ultrasound for detection local invasion in malignant causes
  • Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for staging malignant causes
  • Ct scan for staging malignant strictures
  • Manometry in cases of esophageal stricture due to dysmotility
  • Chest radiography PA and lateral for esophageal stricture due to extrinsic compression
  • 24 hour esophageal PH monitoring: This study may be helpful in evaluating and documenting the adequacy of therapy in patients who remain symptomatic despite treatment with PPIs or fundoplication.
  • Esophageal manometry for detection esophageal dysmotility as a cause of esophageal strciture
  • [Imaging modality] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings on an [imaging modality] suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include:
    • [Finding 1]
    • [Finding 2]
    • [Finding 3]
