Patients with nasogastric (NG) tubes require careful monitoring due to the potential impact of the tube on their ability to swallow safely. This study aimed to investigate the utility of high-resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA) signals in assessi...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal motility disorders are mainly evaluated with high-resolution manometry (HRM) which is a time-consuming and uncomfortable procedure with potential adverse events. Acoustic characterization of the swallowing has the potential to ...
Dysphagia, a disorder affecting the ability to swallow, has a high prevalence among the older adults and can lead to serious health complications. Therefore, early detection of dysphagia is important. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a newly...

PURPOSE: The rise of digitization promotes the development of screening and decision support tools. We sought to validate the results from a machine learning based dysphagia risk prediction tool with clinical evaluation.
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-assiste...
Temporal parameters during swallowing are analyzed for objective and quantitative evaluation of videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS). Manual analysis by clinicians is time-consuming, complicated and prone to human error during interpretation; ...
BACKGROUND: Adaptive proton therapy workflows rely on accurate imaging throughout the treatment course. Our centre currently utilizes weekly repeat CTs (rCTs) for treatment monitoring and plan adaptations. However, deep learning-based methods have re...
