    Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is a common bariatric procedure, with over 685,000 surgeries performed worldwide in 2016.

  • 2

    Revisional bariatric surgeries are increasingly necessary due to weight regain, often linked to pouch dilation or anastomosis widening.

  • 3

    Swallow MRI is a novel, non-ionizing imaging technique that may provide functional insights into pouch size during swallowing.

  • 4

    The study compared swallow MRI and 3D-CT in RYGB patients to assess pouch volume and detect intrathoracic pouch migration.

  • 5

    Both imaging modalities were performed on the same patients within two weeks, ensuring consistency in the assessment.
