[Dysphagia] Fw: FEES







Another question--different topic. Where did the term cricopharyngeal bar
originate? Is it a speech or radiology driven term? I ask b/c our
radiologists are unfamiliar with it and  the dysphagia book, older edition
by Groher, never mentions a cp bar. Is it a newer term?
-------------------------------------

I think I first heard it from our radiologists, so maybe a regional
thing????? (I'm in the mid-Atlantic area).   Barbara
