McKenzie Health System in Sandusky is now offering Modified Barium Swallow Studies or MBSS, a diagnostic test that evaluates swallowing function, right at their local facility. This service is a win for patients who previously had to travel far for this test. MBSS uses x-rays and a safe contrast material to check for swallowing issues, common after strokes, head injuries, or certain diseases. The new addition is part of McKenzie’s ongoing effort to expand care options. Patients can now schedule this test through their primary care provider.
