The Therapeutic Swallowing Study

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

Abstract

When selecting an instrumental procedure to assess oral and pharyngeal swallowing dysfunction videoradiography is the only technique where the entire swallowing sequence could be analyzed. Accordingly this is an excellent tool for the dysphagia therapist in the management of dysphagic patients.
