The modified barium swallow study (MBSS) is a widely used videofluoroscopic evaluation of the functional anatomy and physiology of swallowing that permits visualization of bolus flow throughout the upper aerodigestive tract in real time.

2019年9月25日 · The modified barium swallow study (MBSS), a real-time fluoroscopic motion study, is the reference standard to assess swallowing physiology involving the oropharynx and esophagus.

2024年12月8日 · The MBSS, a videofluoroscopic imaging method, is indicated for patients with known or suspected oropharyngeal dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and ideally involves the combined expertise of a radiologist and speech pathologist.

2024年3月5日 · The MBSS is indicated for known or suspected oropharyngeal dysphagia. The updated ACR-SPR MBSS Practice Parameter lists 20 indications for the MBSS, up from 15 in the prior version.

A Modified Barium Swallow Study (MBSS) is a special x-ray that allows the Radiologist (who specializes in using x-rays) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) to identify why you are having trouble swallowing. The SLP is a professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders and communication problems.

2023年10月8日 · It’s true, the new 2023 ACR/SPR Practice Parameter for MBSS is out—and there’s a lot to it! Compared with the 2017 version, this update has new recommendations, more detail, and greater emphasis on standardization across the board. Here are some examples:

2023年5月4日 · Purpose: Modified barium swallow study (MBSS) is a videofluoroscopic evaluation of oropharyngeal swallowing. Views of esophageal bolus flow during MBSS are permitted under speech-language pathology practice guidelines.

The modified barium swallow study (MBSS) is a videofluoroscopic imaging study used to evaluate oral and pharyngeal swallowing function and airway protection. The exam is typically performed by a radiologist together with a speech-language pathologist (SLP).

• Describe technical and patient considerations associated with performing a fluoroscopic modified barium swallow study (MBSS) to evaluate dysphagia • Explain how the MBSS contributes to the evaluation and treatment of patients with dysphagia by assessing the cause of dysphagia and allowing implementation of compensatory strategies in real-time

2021年3月26日 · This review supports a standardized, validated, reliable visualization protocol of the esophagus during the MBSS as a critical component to the accurate diagnosis and formulation of treatment recommendations for patients with swallowing disorders.
