5. Radiographic Radiographic Features of EA with distal TEF Radiographic Features of EA with distal TEF Diagnosed by failure of NG tube to pass and by seeing air distally in stomach on XR Diagnosed by failure of NG tube to pass and by seeing air distally in stomach on XR Typically diagnosed by PA and lateral chest images showing coiled NG tube in esophagus Typically diagnosed by PA and lateral chest images showing coiled NG tube in esophagus 5 types 5 types Differentiate by air in stomach and symptoms Differentiate by air in stomach and symptoms May use barium if suspect H-type or EA with double TEF May use barium if suspect H-type or EA with double TEF Dwayne C.
