Normal and Abnormal Swallowing

Abstract

To evaluate patients with swallowing impairment, dynamic imaging is critical and strategic because it represents the current “state-of-the-art” practice of radiology. Supplementary techniques for further radiological evaluation include plain films, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound. Although videorecording and cineradiography obtained with modern equipment currently seem to satisfy our clinical needs, it is anticipated that future technical advances in image quality and frame speed will probably further enhance our clinical interpretation.
