What kind of test would I have to do to have the inside of my throat xrayed?!


Question: Not sure you mean xray here. A simple chest xray will look at the throat area. Then depending upon what you want to see, sometimes a tube is put down the throat to further investigate. I've had a problem with my espophogus being blocked and have dealt with this problem. xrays don't really tell you anything as many things don't show up on an xray.

a cat-scan

Cat-scans these days are pretty pointless and expensive.

You can not really get an x-ray of the inside of your throat, but in order to see what is going on inside your throat, they would use a camera to go down your throat and examine it.

It is what they do with esophagus cancer patients.

You would need to have a laryngoscopy.
