Q

Cineradiography

Cineradiography (also called cine study)—

A

a series of 16 to 24 frames of radiographs per second, which were recorded on motion picture film; incorporated several views so examiner could appreciate all aspects of the valve

Q 
Videofluoroscopy can be used to:

2.
3.
4.
5.
A

Confirm the presence of a velopharyngeal opening and estimate the size.

Differentiate the cause of velopharyngeal dysfunction (e.g., a short velum versus poor velar movement).

Show the vertical movement of the velum during speech.

Provide a view of the entire length of the posterior pharyngeal wall.

Evaluate the effects of some surgical procedures.

Q

Purpose of Multiple Views

Velopharyngeal port is…

Necessary to…

Most common views are as follows:

A

three-dimensional structure but fluoroscopic imaging is only two-dimensional

obtain three mutually perpendicular planes to fully evaluate all sides of the velopharyngeal port

  1. Lateral projection
  2. Frontal or anterior-posterior (AP) projection
  3. Base projection

Q

Base (Also Called Enface) View

Beam…

The base view shows…

Position:

A

enters through the base of the chin and then up through the velopharyngeal port.

the perimeter of the VP port.

Patient lays in a prone “sphinx” position (by pulling the head up and placing the upper body weight on the arms and elbows).

17
Q

Towne’s View

Beam enters..

Towne’s view shows…

Position:

A

through the top of the head and then down through the velopharyngeal port.

the perimeter of VP port (similarly to the base view).

Patient is seated upright with the chin tucked and the head hyperflexed.

18
Q

Oblique View

Beam…

The oblique view shows…

Position:

A

enters through the front of the face

the relationship between movements of structures seen on the lateral view to those seen on the frontal view.

Patient is seated upright and rotates head and body to 45º on one side, back to midline, and then 45º to the other side.

19
Q

Contrast Material (AP and Base)

Patient placed in ______

Barium instilled into…

Head rotated to coat pharynx

A

supine position

nasopharynx thru catheter, dropper or pipette

to coat pharynx

20
Q 
Speech Sample
Patient is asked to:
1.
2.
3.
A

Repeat a combination of sentences loaded with pressure-sensitive phonemes.

Produce a repetition of pressure sensitive syllables.

Count from 60 to 70.

21
Q

Interpretation

Interpretation should be done by both a ____and ______.

See interpretation guidelines for each view in the text.

A

radiologist and SLP

22
Q

Advantages of Videofluoroscopy

It provides ….

It shows ….

It’s possible to …

A

a view of entire length of the posterior pharyngeal wall (PPW).

the point at which the velum contacts the PPW during speech.

identify a short velum versus poor velar movement.

23
Q

Limitations of Videofluoroscopy

A

There is radiation exposure to the patient.

It requires multiple views.

There is relatively poor resolution, when compared to nasopharyngoscopy.

It is not possible to see very small gaps

Barium is squirted through the nose and then into the pharynx, which is uncomfortable.

24
Q

Summary

Videofluoroscopy evaluates the _______of the VP valve and helps to determine the cause of VP dysfunction and the location of the opening.

Information obtained is used to determine the type of _____.

Since the introduction of ______, videofluoroscopy is used less frequently.

A

structure and function

intervention

nasopharyngoscopy
