Actually, I just realized the name I gave initially was correct...video fluoriscope swallow study. The FEESST is something completely different and not what I was referring to. The fluoriscope study would be best for initial assessment of swallowing problems, especially if aspiration or mechanical problems are a concern. It's completely non-invasive and results are immediate. But again if motility is the concern, then manometry is the way to go.
