Abstract

OBJECTIVES: FEES is a standard procedure for diagnosing dysphagia. However, appropriate evaluation of FEES findings is difficult for inexperienced evaluators. Recent progress in deep learning has highlighted the use of artificial intelligence-assisted computer-aided diagnosis (AI-assisted CAD) in medical applications. We investigated the detection accuracy of FEES findings evaluated by inexperienced evaluators with and without the use of CAD.
