Diagnosis Of Gastric Diseases

At the gastroenterology hospital in Mumbai, we understand the importance of diagnosis and prioritize accurate gastroenterology tests. Some of the gastrointestinal diagnostic tests that we, at the Department of Gastroenterology, Global Hospitals, offer are listed below:

Laboratory Tests For Gastroenterology

  • FOBT test – a faecal occult blood test is a type of stool test used to check the presence of blood in the stool sample.
  • Stool culture test – The stool sample is cultured to check for pathogenic organisms that may be the causative agents of infections in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Sensitivity testing is done to find the right antibiotic for the organism.

Radiological Imaging

  • Computed Tomography (CT scan) – An imaging test that uses X-rays and a computer to give images of various body parts – bone, muscles, fat, and various organs.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging – This imaging test uses large magnets, radiofrequency, and a computer to provide images of organs and body structures.
  • Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is mainly used to obtain pictures of the bile duct using MRI.
  • Barium enema – A test used to examine the large intestine and rectum; it checks for blockages and obstructions.
  • Oropharyngeal motility study – The patient is given a liquid containing small amounts of barium to drink. The barium is traced using X-rays to provide detailed images of the area of interest.

  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) –This is an advanced endoscopic procedure. This test is used to detect abnormalities in the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas wherein a dye is injected into the bile or pancreatic ducts. X-rays are obtained to outline the hepatobiliary system or pancreas.
