Background
In a videofluoroscopy, the patient’s swallowing process is recorded over time (25-30 images per second) using X-rays. The swallowing samples are mixed with contrast agents to make them visible in the X-ray image and to identify possible causes of swallowing disorders (dysphagia).
Project description
Design of an illustration for performing a videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing (videofluoroscopy, VFSS). The illustration shows a sitting patient with an X-ray machine positioned to the side. The examiner – on the right of the picture – is wearing blue X-ray protective clothing and is administering swallowing samples to the patient with a spoon, which are enriched with contrast medium.
