Advanced Practice Provider EoE Program (Live/Virtual) | October 2025-Final Q and A plus Course Closure

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The discussion focuses on the use and limitations of esophagram in diagnosing esophageal conditions like eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE). Community radiology may perform limited views, but recumbent imaging and measuring luminal diameter are crucial for detecting strictures and guiding treatment. Esophagram helps assess esophageal narrowing, complementing endoscopy. Oral contrast-enhanced CT is valuable for detecting leaks post-gastric bypass if timed correctly. The clinical relevance of reflux seen on esophagram is limited due to snapshot imaging. Shared decision-making and repeated endoscopies remain key for managing EOE effectively and improving patients’ quality of life.
