Beyond the Edge: Markerless Pose Estimation of Speech Articulators from Ultrasound and Camera Images Using DeepLabCut

Alan Wrench et al.

Summary: Automatic feature extraction using pose estimation deep neural nets with transfer learning has been applied for markerless estimation of speech articulator keypoints. Evaluation results show that the method achieves accurate estimation of tongue and lip keypoints compared to the hand-labeled data.

Comparison of auto-contouring and hand-contouring of ultrasound images of the tongue surface

Kevin D. Roon et al.

Summary: Contours traced by trained phoneticians are considered highly reliable and serve as the "gold standard", but the labor-intensive nature of manual placement has led to an increase in the use of automatic algorithms for extracting tongue-surface data from ultrasound videos. The contours produced by automatic algorithms closely matched hand-placed contours in certain sections of the image, but were much less reliable in determining the anterior edge of tongue contours compared to humans.

Automated assessment of hyoid movement during normal swallow using ultrasound

Joan K-Y Ma et al.

Summary: This study investigates the kinematics of hyoid movement during swallowing using ultrasound imaging. The results show that hyoid movement can be automatically tracked, providing measurable continuous positional data. The use of machine learning enhances the utility of ultrasound swallowing assessment by reducing labor and allowing a wider range of measurements. These findings contribute to improving the clinical utility of ultrasound as a swallowing assessment tool.

Protocol for SonoSpeech Cleft Pilot: a mixed-methods pilot randomized control trial of ultrasound visual biofeedback versus standard intervention for children with cleft lip and palate

Joanne Cleland et al.

Summary: This study aims to assess the feasibility of ultrasound visual biofeedback (U-VBF) for the treatment of children with cleft lip and palate, compared to standard articulation intervention. A pilot randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 40 participants to evaluate recruitment rates, intervention outcomes, and provide guidance for future larger-scale trials.

Application of Ultrasound Biofeedback to the Learning of the Mendelsohn Maneuver in Non-dysphagic Adults: A Pilot Study

Elaine Kwong et al.

Summary: The study found that ultrasound is more effective than surface electromyography as biofeedback in learning the Mendelsohn maneuver. This suggests that ultrasound may be adopted in rehabilitative treatment for dysphagic individuals. The non-specificity of sEMG as biofeedback in the training and learning of swallowing maneuvers should be emphasized.

Utility of ultrasound in the assessment of swallowing and laryngeal function: A rapid review and critical appraisal of the literature

Jodi E. Allen et al.

Summary: This study critically explores the clinical utility of ultrasound as an assessment tool for swallowing and laryngeal function in adults. The findings suggest that ultrasound has the potential as an adjunct to SLT clinical assessment, but current literature does not support its standalone use. Further research is needed to establish the reliability of ultrasound assessment and clear SLT-driven protocols and training.

Ultrasound: an emerging modality for the dysphagia assessment toolkit?

Jodi E. Allen et al.

Summary: This review assesses the evidence for and against the use of ultrasound (US) for clinical swallowing assessment. US has primary uses in evaluating swallowing muscle morphology and measuring isolated swallowing kinematics. Although still in early stages, US shows promise as an adjunct modality for assessing swallowing and may potentially transition into clinical care with further research and standardization. Reliability and validity testing, as well as normative data development, are essential to support its evidence-based use as an instrumentation for swallowing assessment.

Exploiting ultrasound tongue imaging for the automatic detection of speech articulation errors

Manuel Sam Ribeiro et al.

Summary: This study investigates the role of ultrasound tongue imaging in automatic detection of speech articulation errors, with promising results showing that pre-training on adult speech and jointly using ultrasound and audio yield the best performance in error detection. The findings suggest potential for integration of automatic error detection into ultrasound intervention software for monitoring progress in speech therapy.

Assessing the accuracy of ultrasound measurements of tracheal diameter: an in vitro experimental study

Ran Ye et al.

Summary: The study shows that ultrasound is accurate for measuring outer and inner transverse diameter of the trachea, but less accurate for measuring anterior tracheal wall thickness. There is a strong correlation between the percentage change of tracheal diameter, cuff inflation volume, and tracheal wall pressure.
