Modified Barium Swallow Studies are the cornerstone of many swallowing assessment plans and often considered the “gold standard” in swallowing assessment. How often do clinicians delve into the logistics of what we actually do in the fluoro suite, how we perform these studies, and ponder how to improve our skills? Whether you’re a new clinician or have performed thousands of Modified Barium Swallow Studies in your career, you will surely find something to streamline, broaden, and improve your clinical practice through Making the Most of the Modified Barium Swallow. We will explore topics such as radiation safety, fluoroscopic contrasts, standardized assessment tools, modifications for unique patient populations, improving your clinical efficacy and efficiency, and interesting case studies.
