Background
FEES (fiber endoscopic evaluation of swallowing) is a diagnostic method used to assess swallowing disorders (dysphagia). It is a procedure in which a flexible endoscope is inserted through the nose to visualize swallowing movements in real time. This examination enables a precise assessment of the different phases of swallowing.
Project description
Design of drawn, medical illustrations of disturbed swallowing processes in dysphagia (e.g. leaking, delayed swallowing reflex) in the style of endoscopic images (FEES). For this purpose, the temporal sequence of the swallowing act for each of the disorders was visualized in a series of individual sub-illustrations. The different manifestations of the disorder patterns allow conclusions to be drawn about the anatomical cause of the symptoms and influence the subsequent therapeutic measures accordingly.
