Swallowing disorders are common in head and neck cancer patients and have a significant health impact. Unfortunately, despite the significant effects of the disorder, major gaps in our knowledge regarding the normal swallowing mechanism persist.  In this article, THANC describes a methodology for obtaining high-quality dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences of the swallow sequence in healthy volunteers.
