Study: NCT02576470

Intervention type: RADIATION
Group type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
Intervention: Videofluoroscopy (VF) and Barium
Description: The videofluoroscopy (VF) and barium will be used to record swallowing in all participant groups. This will capture full resolution VF images of all subjects in real time in the lateral view. From the digital recording, image sequencing will be exported to an image processing computer system and archived. The image intensifier will be focused on the lips, posterior pharyngeal wall, hard palate, and just below the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), providing a full view of the oral cavity and neck. A simultaneously recorded time-code will facilitate frame-by-frame data analysis. VF is the only option for visualizing swallowing kinematics during the pharyngeal swallow.
