| Fluoroscopy-Lateral Normal | This file demonstrates the normal movement of barium from the crop to the proventriculus and ventriculus (glandular stomach and gizzard). You can also see the ventriculus contracting in sequence (gives the barium a sort of "washing machine" rotational appearance). The bird's head is to the left and the tail is to the right. This bird is a blue-front Amazon.
| | Fluoroscopy-Lateral-Depressed Ventricular Function | In this contrast study, barium passes from the crop into the proventriculus and ventriculus, but ventricular function is depressed. Also there is a large amount of gas present in the proventriculus.
