Tracking a Swallowed Object in Esophagus Ultrasonic Tomographic Animation for Diagnosis of Dysphagia
Pages 180 - 184
Abstract
Herein, we propose a quantitative method to evaluate swallowing ability. In Japan, where the population is aging, the number of patients with aspiration pneumonia will increase in the future. Methods to quantitatively assess swallowing ability are currently not being developed, and some doctors make decisions based on x-rays, endoscopes, and water drinking tests. These methods are invasive to the patient and the amount of information obtained is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the swallowing ability by photographing the state of swallowing food with an ultrasonic diagnostic device and processing the images. Muscle and food in the images were separated using filters, labeling, and single regression analysis. Swallowing ability was assessed quantitatively using optical flow.
