Question

How much barium is given to an infant (<1 year) during an upper gastrointestinal series?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infants typically receive 30 to 75 ml of barium during an upper gastrointestinal series, which is a lower dose compared to older children and adults. The exact amount may vary depending on the infant's weight and size. It is important to use the lowest effective dose to minimize potential risks of barium exposure.
