This demonstrates that inter-rater reliability for determining closure patterns from nasopharyngoscopy is good; however, ratings using MRI was less reliable at determining closure patterns. It is likely that future improvements in dynamic imaging with MRI to enable 3D visualizations are needed for improved diagnostic accuracy for assessing velopharyngeal closure patterns.
