  • Title: Low-cost high-speed imaging system for observing vocal fold vibration in voice disorders.
    Author: Kaneko K, Sakaguchi K, Inoue M, Takahashi H.
    Journal: ORL J Otorhinolaryngol Relat Spec; 2012; 74(4):208-10. PubMed ID: 22868889.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to establish a method to observe vocal fold vibration using a low-cost high-speed laryngeal imaging system. PROCEDURES: We assembled a high-speed imaging system with a consumer digital camera and a rigid laryngeal endoscope. The camera can shoot digital images at a rate of 1,200 frames per second and be purchased for about USD 1,000 in Japan. RESULTS: We examined the normal and pathological vocal folds of 215 subjects with our new system and analyzed the vocal fold vibration in these subjects by playback of a video and kymograph images. CONCLUSIONS: Our high-speed laryngeal imaging system is highly cost-effective and can be a useful tool for examining the vocal folds of patients with voice disorders.
