The Role of Radiology in Rehabilitation of Swallowing

  • Chapter
Normal and Abnormal Swallowing

Abstract

The preceding chapters have explored the contribution of imaging to the diagnostic evaluation of patients with impaired swallowing. Imaging also plays a vital role in their rehabilitation. Although a variety of imaging modalities are employed for diagnostic assessment, the videofluorographic swallowing study (VFSS) is the most useful for analyzing the character and degree of disability. The VFSS reveals the anatomical and functional status of individual components in the swallowing mechanism and the utility of specific therapeutic and compensatory techniques.
