Dysphagia affects approximately 16% of adults in the general population, with prevalence increasing with age. Esophagogastroduodenuoscopy (EGD) is initially performed to assess for structural abnormalities resulting in esophageal dysphagia. However, if EGD reveals no pathologic abnormalities, high-resolution manometry (HRM) and barium esophagography are performed in order to assess for underlying causes of dysmotility. Esophageal motility disorders (EMDs) are an underrecognized cause of dysphagia and can be characterized by impaired esophageal peristalsis or lower esophageal sphincter dysfunction. High-resolution manometry (HRM) measures key metrics such as integrated relaxation pressure (IRP), which is the deglutitive relaxation across the LES, and metrics of esophageal body peristalsis based on distal contractile integral (DCI) and distal latency (DL). The Chicago Classification version 4 (CCv4.0), published in 2021, provides a standardized classification scheme for differentiating EMDs using metrics from HRM. Additionally, barium esophagography has remained an important adjunctive diagnostic modality, as this may identify strictures, neoplasms, or hiatal hernias, but can also identify major motility disorders such as achalasia and distal esophageal spasm. The combined use of HRM with timed barium esophagram can enhance the diagnostic accuracy of EMDs, particularly when HRM demonstrates inconclusive findings. Therefore, radiologists should be familiar with how imaging findings from barium esophagram integrate with findings noted on HRM. The aim of this review is to highlight the findings of EMDs noted on HRM in conjunction with barium esophagography, thereby illustrating characteristic patterns of primary and secondary EMDs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bjro\/tzag005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,1]],"date-time":"2026-03-01T10:37:11Z","timestamp":1772361431000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bridging
