X-ray Motion Study Of The Throat And Voice Box

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 70370

This imaging exam uses continuous, real-time x-ray to watch the throat and voice box while a person swallows, breathes, or speaks. It helps doctors see how these structures move and function, which is useful for evaluating swallowing problems, voice changes, or a suspected blockage in the airway. Still images may also be captured for closer review, sometimes using a technique that magnifies fine details.
