Videofluoroscopy: A Multidisciplinary Team Approach is a timely
volume that helps to meet the growing need for multidisciplinary
team knowledge of the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS).
Clinicians increasingly rely on the objective examination of
swallowing to create a baseline as part of the patient's diagnosis
and treatment. Much of the current literature focuses on the speech
and language therapist working alongside a radiologist. However,
the radiologist is increasingly no longer involved in the
investigation, highlighting the need to amplify the
multidisciplinary team knowledge of the procedure. Increasing
demand for new and established diagnostic and interventional
procedures has encouraged innovative models of service delivery,
resulting in an extended range of health professionals crossing the
traditional practice boundaries. In particular, the radiographers
who complete the examination, along with the speech and language
therapists, need to learn more about the swallowing function.
Likewise, it is essential that speech and language therapists
increase their knowledge base on the radiographic aspects of the
examination.Authored by numerous highly regarded scholars,
Videofluoroscopy: A Multidisciplinary Team Approach serves as a
crucial resource to help all members of the videofluoroscopy
service team acquire the knowledge and skills they require. The
book is divided into two parts: Part One provides an overview of
swallowing and an introduction to the VFSS. Part Two covers various
clinical indications for VFSS, including stroke, neuromuscular
conditions, pediatric disorders, learning disabilities, dementia,
and head and neck cancers.
