What the service includes
See swallowing function in context.
FEES uses a small flexible endoscope passed through the nose to provide a live, color, high-definition view. TexScope describes the evaluation as radiation-free, without barium and without a time constraint.
A patient’s preferred foods can be trialed during the assessment, supporting an evaluation in a more familiar context.
