A preliminary deep learning study on automatic segmentation of contrast-enhanced bolus in videofluorography of swallowing

Abstract 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 of patients with healthy swallowing and d...
