ObjectiveTo determine the feasibility of cine-MRI for non-invasive swallowing evaluation after surgery for lingual carcinoma with reconstruction using microvascular free flaps.MethodsTen patients with stage IV carcinoma of the mobile tongue and/or tongue base treated by surgical resection and reconstruction with a free flap were evaluated after an average of 4.3 years (range: 1.5–11 years), using cine-MRI in “single-shot fast spin echo” (SSFSE) mode. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy of swallowing was performed...
