| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For the kinematic evaluation of swallowing, videofluoroscopy (VF) is mainly used. The other examination methods are videoendoscopy (VE) and ultrasonography (US). US examination does not involve X-ray exposure, and has also allowed the evaluation of 3- and 4-dimensional movements. In addition, US provides real-time images straightforwardly and non-invasively, and is useful for evaluating the oral stage, especially tongue movements. We developed image analysis software for the evaluation of tongue movements and food bolus movements on the dorsum of the tongue.Our new analysis software provided clearer images of tongue movements including food bolus movements on the dorsum of the tongue than conventional US images, and allowed observation from any direction. Although further evaluation is necessary for clinical application, this software is useful for the kinetic evaluation of swallowing in the oral preparatory and oral stages (tongue and food bolus movements).
