Temporal reconstruction of sonographic imaging of disturbed tongue movements.
Documentation of tongue movement during swallowing has been restricted to the recording of fluorographic or ultrasound images on cine- or videofilm. The new approach of temporal sonographic imaging with reconstruction of one single image for the total act of swallowing presents a direct approach to obtaining substantial information concerning tongue movements and motility. The applicability of this reconstructed image for the documentation, interpretation, and comparison of tongue movements is demonstrated using examples of normal and pathologic swallowing.
