Imaging of the Pharynx and the Esophagus

Often neglected or wrongfully discarded as obsolete, barium swallows still are a staple of the daily routine of radiology departments worldwide, serving as an important tool to support the clinical and endoscopic diagnosis of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Like other imaging methods, barium radiography and fluoroscopy have also undergone radical technological changes and upgrades. This book constitutes a seminal volume on the subject, easily accessible to junior graduate students and specialists, showcasing that before being a diagnostic tool of utmost importance, it is a form of art worth preserving and passing on to future generations. Covering sections such as oral and pharyngeal anatomy and an overview of clinical disorders, the basics of pharyngoesophageal endoscopy, CT, and MR imaging, as well as the art of interpreting the images, this book provides an extensive and well-illustrated guide to the morphodynamic imaging of pharynx and esophagus.
