Abstract

Dynamic fluoroscopy was used to study swallowing in 84 adult patients. We proposed a method to extract the barium contrast region by improved interframe difference method, and to indirectly determine the position of epigmatous cartilage and cricopharyngeal muscle according to the location of barium meal. The method is easy to understand, and the extraction effect is good, with 85% probability of successful extraction. On the other hand, in order to evaluate the degree of deglutition difficulty, we used calculation to evaluate variables including displacement, duration, residual quantity, etc., except that there were gender differences in variables and external factors, such as illumination, most of the measurement variables had very good reliability. The experimental results showed that the moving target fluid barium was extracted by quantifying dynamic fluorescence deglutition and using gaussian based background subtraction algorithm. We conclude that this approach significantly reduces the time it takes clinicians to examine moving images. This paper describes how to study swallowing disorders by X-ray barium fluoroscopy, explains the application of interframe difference algorithm and background subtraction in deglutiography, and extracts the residual amounts in three locations: oral cavity, epiglottic cartilage and piriform fosse.
