Abstract:AUTOMATED IMPEDANCE MANOMETRY (AIM): OBJECTIVE DIAGNOSIS OF OROPHARYNGEAL DYSPHAGIA: This review article aims to demonstrate the clinical potential of Automated Impedance Manometry (AIM) as a new, non-radiological technique for screening and diagnosis of oro-pharyngeal dysphagia. An integrated - rather than separate - analysis of pressure and impedance patterns generated in the pharynx when swallowing a food bolus, can be a useful complement to the radiological investigations considered as gold standard today.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
