You are the radiographer on duty. A 42-year-old patient has been referred for a barium meal and follow-through to investigate unexplained weight loss and a suspected gastric ulcer. The patient is unfamiliar with the procedure and expresses concern about preparation and aftercare. As the attending radiographer, outline the steps you would follow from the time of booking the patient to post-procedure aftercare. Your response should include:1. Preliminary preparation during booking         (3 Marks)2. Day-of-procedure patient preparation            (3 Marks)3. Room and trolley setup                                      (2 Marks)4.
