EP 18: The use of ultrasound in dysphagia management with Jodi Allen


Listen Later

Ultrasound is an emerging tool for the assessment of swallowing and treatment of dysphagia. But how can SLTs actually make use of it? And what does it add to our toolbox? To learn more about this new approach, we invited Jodi Allen. She explains what we can do with an ultrasound assessment, where its boundaries are and how we can implement it in our clinical practice.
