Book description
This comprehensive, full-color reference provides a thorough overview
of the most recent advances in laryngeal imaging technology combined
with all of the information readers need to interpret findings and
successfully manage patients with voice disorders. After a solid
introduction to laryngeal anatomy and physiology, separate sections
cover the entire spectrum of laryngeal imaging systems. The authors
place special emphasis on the interpretation of abnormal vibratory
characteristics through practical discussion of the differential
diagnosis of specific abnormalities and the impact of various types of
laryngeal pathology on the vocal cords. The accompanying DVD features
high-quality video clips of vocal fold vibration that clearly
demonstrate every pathology and evaluation technique cited in the text.
Each clip is cross-referenced to a specific location in the book for
maximum accessibility.
Features:
In-depth coverage of the indications and limitations of flexible
laryngoscopy, videostroboscopy, and high-speed imaging
66 video clips of actual examinations - plus an appendix that

Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts, this book will help
speech-language pathologists, otolaryngologists, and trainees in those
specialties acquire the necessary skills to enable them to expand their
practices to incorporate laryngeal imaging procedures in the clinical
setting. "An excellent resource for practicing otolaryngologist
and speech language pathologists. The clear description of laryngeal
anatomy and physiology of voice production provides a strong foundation
for the subsequent chapters on laryngeal imaging...[accompanying]
DVD...is a much appreciated addition to the static (though wonderful)
picture references in the book...high quality photographs.._x000D_ .a
