Esophageal bolus transport and esophageal mechanics are quantified from medical imaging data, such as dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) data, computed tomography (“CT”) data, or the like. A machine learning model is used to process geometric or other spatiotemporal parameters of a bolus imaged with medical imaging in order to estimate quantitative parameters of the bolus and/or esophagus, such as cross-sectional area, fluid velocity, and fluid pressure. From these values, other parameters can be computed, such as esophageal stiffness and active relaxation.
