Imaging the breastfeeding swallow: Pilot study utilizing real‐time MRI

Objective Knowledge of the breastfeeding swallow is limited by practical challenges. Radiation exposure to both mother and infant and the radiolucent properties of breastmilk make videofluoroscopy an unsuitable imaging modality. Furthermore, ultrasound is not ideal for capturing the complex 3‐dimens...

Zusammenfassung:Objective Knowledge of the breastfeeding swallow is limited by practical challenges. Radiation exposure to both mother and infant and the radiolucent properties of breastmilk make videofluoroscopy an unsuitable imaging modality. Furthermore, ultrasound is not ideal for capturing the complex 3‐dimensional functional anatomy of swallowing. In this study we explore the feasibility of using real‐time MRI to capture the breastfeeding swallow. Methods Prospective observational study: Review of imaging from 12 normal infants (
