title: [Digital cineradiography (DCR) of the act of swallowing. The initial clinical experiences].
abstract: Twenty-seven patients with different swallowing disorders were studied by employing digital cineradiography (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 planning, the DCR study can be transferred to the otorhinolaryngologist via videotape. DCR is capable to substitute analog cine or video techniques in the pre- and postoperative examination of patients with swallowing disorders.
