New dataset and framework improve keypoint localization for swallowing studies

Researchers have introduced VFSSKep, a new dataset for Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS) that includes annotations for the soft palate and large amounts of unlabeled data. They also developed S$^3$KL, a Structure-aware Semi-Supervised Keypoint Localization framework designed to mitigate spatial bias in medical imaging. This framework uses structure-aware learning and block shuffling to improve anatomical structure recognition. Experiments demonstrate that S$^3$KL achieves state-of-the-art semi-supervised performance, outperforming fully supervised methods even with significantly less labeled data. AI

IMPACT Enhances medical imaging analysis for diagnosing swallowing disorders, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

    Structure-aware Keypoint Localization for Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study

    arXiv:2610.07726v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Study (VFSS) is one of the gold standard for diagnosing swallowing disorders, providing dynamic X-ray imaging of the swallowing process. Automated kinematic analysis in VFSS relies fundamentally on preci…
