    Dysphagia, particularly oropharyngeal dysphagia, is common in head and neck cancer patients and can lead to severe complications.

  • 2

    Video-fluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) is a standard diagnostic tool for assessing swallowing function but requires specialized training.

  • 3

    High-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) provides quantitative measurements of swallowing but is complex and dependent on clinician expertise.

  • 4

    The proposed framework automates swallow detection in VFSS, reducing clinician workload and enhancing assessment consistency.

  • 5

    Validation of the framework was conducted using data from head and neck cancer patients, addressing common errors in swallow assessments.
