Abstract
Fluorography using contrast medium is one of the common examination to determine type and degree of dysphagia. There is, however, room for improvement in medium since the degree of dysphagia depends on the characteristics such as viscosity and solidity of meal. Therefore, we newly used two types of barium meal, thin (100%W/V) and thick (200%W/V) and applied these media to 15 patients with lump sensation. According to radiographic findings, patients were classified three types, normal, border line and dysphagic. We believe fluorography using these media is useful to determine the type of dysphagia.
