Flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) is a standard procedure for diagnosing swallowing impairment. FEES has favorable features as an instrumental examination for swallowing impairment, as it is portable and can be used at the bedside. However, the appropriate evaluation of FEES findings is challenging. Therefore, the interpretation of FEES results may vary among evaluators with different levels of experience and skills. One potential solution for evaluating the findings of FEES is an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). Recent progress in deep learning has highlighted the use of AI-assisted CADs in medical applications. We investigated the effectiveness of an AI-assisted CAD for FEES.
