Mechanics Informed Fluoroscopy of Esophageal Transport [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology. 20 (2021) 925-940, 2020 Fluoroscopy is a radiographic procedure for evaluating esophageal disorders such as achalasia, dysphasia and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It performs dynamic imaging of the swallowing process and provides anatomical detail and a qualitative idea of how well swallowed fluid is transported through the esophagus.
