Abstract
The emergence of turbo-FLASH MR sequences allows us to acquire five 10 -mm sections each second and thus to catch images of the soft tissues during function, One can trace the pathway of a Liquid between the ton gue, the soft palate, the epiglottis and the pharyngeal apparatus and analysis the role of the anatomic structures during swallowing. Restri cted to the sagittal plane for the purpose of this preliminary study, this technique can be extended to the other planes to provide a three- dimensional analysis of oropharyngeal function or dysfunction.
