BACKGROUND: This study aimed to build and evaluate a deep learning, artificial intelligence (AI) model to automatically classify swallow types based on raw data from esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM).
Delineating swallowing and chewing structures aids in radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning to limit dysphagia, trismus, and speech dysfunction. We aim to develop an accurate and efficient method to automate this process.CT scans of 242 head and neck ...
BACKGROUND: Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is currently considered the gold standard to precisely diagnose and quantitatively investigate dysphagia. However, VFSS interpretation is complex and requires consideration of several factors. The...
The hyoid bone excursion is one of the most important gauges of larynx elevation in swallowing, contributing to airway protection and bolus passage into the esophagus. However, the implications of various parameters of hyoid bone excursion, such as t...
More and more studies have being done on the deformation process of food and the formation of food bolus during chewing. However, it is hard to observe the food oral processing (FOP) of subjects and obtain related data directly. A bionic chewing robo...
Soft robotics could help providing a better understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the swallowability of solid oral dosage forms (SODF), especially by vulnerable populations such as the elderly or children. In this study a novel soft robotic in...
Although videofluorography (VFG) is an effective tool for evaluating swallowing functions, its accurate evaluation requires considerable time and effort. This study aimed to create a deep learning model for automated bolus segmentation on VFG images ...
OBJECTIVES: A videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is conducted to detect aspiration. However, aspiration occurs within a short time and is difficult to detect. If deep learning can detect aspirations with high accuracy, clinicians can focus on ...

Dysphagia occurs secondary to a variety of underlying etiologies and can contribute to increased risk of adverse events such as aspiration pneumonia and premature mortality. Dysphagia is primarily diagnosed and characterized by instrumental swallowin...
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; ...
