Videofluoroscopy: A Multidisciplinary Team Approach (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Roger D. Newman and Julie M. Nightingale

Discover Videofluoroscopy: A Multidisciplinary Team Approach, an essential guide addressing the rising demand for comprehensive knowledge of the videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). As clinicians increasingly depend on this objective swallowing assessment to establish a baseline for patient diagnosis and treatment, this timely volume equips multidisciplinary teams with critical expertise. While traditional literature emphasizes collaboration between speech and language therapists and radiologists, evolving practices often exclude radiologists, underscoring the need for enhanced team understanding of VFSS procedures.

With growing demand for innovative diagnostic and interventional approaches, this book supports health professionals crossing traditional boundaries, particularly radiographers performing the examination and speech and language therapists seeking deeper insight into swallowing functions and radiographic techniques. Authored by esteemed scholars Roger D. Newman and Julie M. Nightingale, this resource empowers all VFSS team members with the skills and knowledge needed for success. Divided into two parts, Part One introduces swallowing and the VFSS process, while Part Two explores clinical indications, including stroke, neuromuscular conditions, pediatric disorders, learning disabilities, dementia, and head and neck cancers.
