[Dysphagia] Re: E-stim for dysphagia

Kris,
The big thing about the e-stim for dysphagia is that the electrodes are
placed over the appropriate muscles as determined by the MBS.  I am not
trained and do not know the details, so I'm not sure that you can do it
outside of the Radiology suite.  Maybe they mark the spots like they do for
radiation tx......Someone else????
