Abstract

Radiologic examination of the oral cavity, pharynx, and esophagus should focus on bolus transportation as well as on registration of morphodynamic events. The examination should be custom-tailored to the patient’s symptoms but should also be performed in a rather standardized way. The radiologic findings should always be compared to the patient’s specific symptoms.
