ABSTRACT Introduction: Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) can result in serious health complications, so proper diagnosis and rehabilitation are of utmost importance. Recent advances in machine learning offer new opportunities to develop noninvasive techniques for identifying OD. Objective: To verify the accuracy of spectrograms and scalograms as tools to identify altered swallowing patterns using machine learning techniques. Methods: The Research Ethics Committee approved this cross-sectional...
