This is not a specific "MD reference" as you requested, but ASHA published Guidelines for Speech-Language Pathologists Performing Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Studies in 2004. On page 9, pharyngoesophageal dysphagia is addressed. That may help support your discussions.

Does anyone have any specific M.D. references regarding the parameters for
assessment of the cervical esophagus during an MBS . The ACR guidelines do not
address this. Many of our radiologists are firmly against addressing even
the cricopharyngeus much less cervical esophagus- stating that is a different
test and that doing so would result in a "sub-optimal" test. . In addition
there is increasing resistance to doing A-P projections (too much radiation),
multiple trials, etc. Did something happen that we missed? Any input would be
appreciated.
