Tantalum clips were easily attached to upper respiratory structures in sheep, cats and nonhuman primates. Cineradiography of these animals showed that the clips served to locate precisely the movement and position of the tagged structures during all phases of respiration, deglutition and vocalization. The use of clips as markers surpassed in accuracy the usual approach of outlining structures with the residue from a barium swallow.
钽夹很容易附着在绵羊、猫和非人类灵长类动物的上呼吸道结构上。对这些动物进行的电影X线摄影显示，在呼吸、吞咽和发声的所有阶段，钽夹有助于精确确定标记结构的运动和位置。与使用钡剂吞咽后的残留物勾勒结构的常规方法相比，使用钽夹作为标记物的准确性更高。
