Evaluation of Swallowing Patterns of the Tongue Using Real-time B-mode Sonography.

Evaluation of Swallowing Patterns of the Tongue Using Real-time B-mode Sonography

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the swallowing patterns of the tongue using B-mode sonography. A total of 65 patients aged between eight and 35 years were enrolled in the study including 25 controls. The swallowing patterns of the 40 patients were divided into groups of ten normal, 12 inconsistent, and 18 abnormal. Eight patients with a swallowing abnormality had Angle Class I occl...

Application of B+M-Mode Ultrasonography in Assessing Deglutitive Tongue Movements in Healthy Adults

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate tongue movements during swallowing in healthy adults using the B+M-mode ultrasonography, and to determine a common feature in the M-mode traces for quantitative measurement and individual comparison of tongue movements. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety healthy subjects were divided into 3 groups according to age (20-39, 40-59, and 60-80 years). ...

Evaluation of swallow function after tongue cancer treatment using real-time magnetic resonance imaging: a pilot study.

IMPORTANCE Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the advantage of imaging swallow function at any anatomical level without changing the position of patient, which can provide detailed information than modified barium swallow, by far the gold standard of swallow evaluation. OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of real-time MRI in the evaluation of swallow function of patients with tongue cancer. ...

Detection of Congenital Mullerian Anomalies Using Real-Time 3D Sonography

Development of X-ray TV M-mode and reconstructed ultrasound M-mode methods for investigating tongue movement during swallowing in humans.

There were two purposes of this study. The first purpose was to introduce the "X-ray TV M-mode waveform" which is reconstructed from sequential X-ray TV images and the "reconstructed ultrasound M-mode waveform" which is delivered from ultrasound B-mode images. The second purpose was to evaluate the usefulness of these two types of waveforms in the investigation of tongue movement during swallow...
