New era radiology of the esophagus.
In our modern era, the radiologist is no longer content merely to discern abnormal shadows; he must correlate the radiologic finding with clinical and physiologic findings. With this in mind, the radiologist must be familiar with pertinent data from the patient's history, physical examination and laboratory studies to aid not only in structuring the examination of the patient but also in interpreting the radiologic findings.
