Abstract

Use of the videofluoroscopy swallow study (VFSS), also known as the modified barium swallow (MBS), continues to increase in children. This article reviews the scope and limitations of the examination, explores the current techniques and illustrates some of the main findings. As moving images are key to the understanding of the use of this technique short videos are available in the on-line version of this paper.
