| Abstract;Videofluorograms using mobile surgical C-ARM fluoroscopic X-ray equipment (C-ARM) equipped with a dual field (9 inch) image intensifier were performed for patients with swallowing disorders. The advantages of this type of examination were the following. 1) The features of the C-ARM helped achieve a drastically lower radiation dose for the examiner during the procedure compared to conventional fixed fluoroscopic X-ray equipment. 2) The C-ARM offered excellent positioning flexibility, consequently patients could undergo the examination in the compensative position. 3) Patients could also undergo the examination sitting in a wheelchair or lying on a stretcher. 4) The C-ARM captured and showed clear dynamic images on a monitor and provided excellent resolution and video recording, 5) The C-ARM requires less space, consequently it can be set up even at office-based clinics. 6) The cost of C-ARM is cheaper than that of conventional fixed fluoroscopic X-ray equipment. Videofluorograms using mobile C-ARM fluoroscopic X-ray equipment are a reliable procedure for office-based videofluorography of patients with swallowing disorders. (author abst.) |
