Abstract
Twenty-seven patients with different swallowing disorders were studied by employing Digital Cine-Radiography (DCR) for rapid imaging of the pharynx with a temporal resolution of up to 50 frames per second and a maximum spatial resolution of .8 per/mm. To facilitate therapy planni ng, the DCR study can be transferred to the oto-rhino-laryngologist vi a videotape. DCR is capable to substitute analog cine or videotechniqu es in the pre- and postoperative examination of patients with swallowi ng disorders.
