North Kansas City Hospital's Speech-Language Pathologist's are trained to conduct modified barium swallow studies, a procedure where the swallow mechanism is evaluated during a live x-ray by observing foods and liquids as they travel through the mouth and throat during fluoroscopy. Video Swallow studies can assess the physiology and function of swallowing and confirm the presence of dysphagia (a swallow disorder).
