title: [Radiologic demonstration of esophageal and gastric motility phenomena].
abstract: Indication and significance of roentgenological procedures referring to esophageal and gastric motility are discussed with special reference to a number of functional disorders. Cinematography and tape-recording are necessary for fast peristaltic motion as in vascular, neurological and myogenic diseases of the upper esophageal sphincter. Pharmacological response may for instance help to differentiate functional from morphological disorders or postoperative complains. Combinations of roentgenological and radioisotopical studies or manometry may be usefull for special diagnostic problems.
