Normal and Abnormal Swallowing: Imaging in Diagnosis and Therapy

The new edition of this title has been completely updated to reflect all the new modalities that have developed in the ten years since the first edition. This beautifully illustrated book presents an updated approach to the role of imaging in the diagnosis and treatment of the patient with dysphagia. Centered around the "gold standard" imaging modality, i.e. videofluorography, the text also includes chapters on other modalities such as ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The broad scope of the text makes it the definitive reference work for professionals already involved with patients with dysphagia. This is a "must read" for professionals in specialties such as radiology, gastroenterology, otolaryngology, rehabilitation medicine and speech language pathology.
