Opis

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 contains a complete description and interpretation of each clip
  
• 284 full color images, including endoscopic views of
  the larynx and photographs that demonstrate how to perform examinations
  
• Multiple perspectives from renowned speech language
  pathologists and otolaryngologists on how to interpret findings and determine
  treatment options

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.
