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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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: 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).

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) is widely performed to evaluate the representation of manometric features in patients for diagnosing normal esophageal motility and motility disorders. Clinicians commonly assess es...
(1) Background: Ultrasound provides a radiation-free and portable method for assessing swallowing. Hyoid bone locations and displacements are often used as important indicators for the evaluation of swallowing disorders. However, this requires clinic...
