Austin, Texas USA, 2006: Father wearing lead apron watches his 10-month-old Hispanic baby boy undergoing an upper gastro-intestinal procedure at a medical imaging center. The patient swallows a small amount of barium (white, chalky liquid) while a doctor watches a series of fluoroscopic x-rays over approximately 15-20 minutes. The barium highlights the esophagus, throat and upper intestines allowing the doctor to view food as it travels down the esophagus, into the stomach and into the first part of the small intestines. ©Marjorie Cotera/Daemmrich Photograph
