Deglutition, or the act of swallowing, allows food and fluids to move through the upper gastrointestinal tract. Difficulty swallowing, known as dysphagia, causes a host of complications for patients. Fluoroscopic evaluation of dysphagia enables appropriate diagnosis and treatment. This evaluation commonly is accomplished with a swallowing dysfunction study, also known as a modified barium swallow procedure.
吞咽，即咽下动作，能使食物和液体通过上消化道。吞咽困难，即吞咽障碍，会给患者带来一系列并发症。吞咽障碍的荧光镜检查有助于进行恰当的诊断和治疗。这种检查通常通过吞咽功能障碍研究来完成，也称为改良钡餐吞咽检查。
