Advanced Evaluation of Vocal Cord Function & Voice Disorders
Stroboscopy is an advanced diagnostic examination used to assess the structure and functional vibration of the vocal cords during voice production. It provides detailed visualization of vocal fold movement, vibration patterns, mucosal wave and glottic closure, helping ENT specialists accurately evaluate various voice-related disorders.
Detailed Examination of Vocal Cords & Larynx
Assessment of Vocal Fold Vibration & Mucosal Wave
Evaluation of Glottic Closure & Symmetry
Diagnosis & Assessment of Vocal Cord Nodules & Polyps
Evaluation of Vocal Cord Cysts & Other Lesions
Assessment of Hoarseness & Persistent Voice Changes
Evaluation of Vocal Cord Paralysis or Paresis
Detection & Monitoring of Subtle Vocal Fold Abnormalities
Pre-operative & Post-operative Voice Assessment
Useful for Professional Voice Users Such as Singers, Teachers and Speakers
Stroboscopy is generally performed using a specialized rigid or flexible endoscope connected to a high-resolution imaging system. A controlled strobe light synchronizes with the frequency of vocal fold vibration, creating a detailed view of the vocal cord's vibratory pattern in slow motion.
Stroboscopy enables precise assessment of vocal fold function and helps ENT and voice specialists establish an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan for patients with voice disorders.
