I need to know what kind of tests these are?

EGD with pathology report, upper GI series or H. Pylori test. Are these two different tests? Thank you so much for your help.

    EGD is a scope that they use to inspect the lining of the esophagus near the stomach. Upper GI series is a set of x-rays they use to look for ulcers, this means you have to swallow a barium contrast. H pylori test is looking for a nasty bug (bacteria) that lives in the stomach and can causes ulcers.
