PURPOSE The authors discuss the rationale behind the term laryngeal high-speed videoendoscopy to describe the application of high-speed endoscopic imaging techniques to the visualization of vocal fold vibration. METHOD Commentary on the advantages of using accurate and consistent terminology in the field of voice research is provided. Specific justification is described for each component of ...

PURPOSE To determine the clinical utility of intraocular videoendoscopy examination for the evaluation of the retina and optic nerve in patients being considered for a Boston type I keratoprosthesis (KPro). DESIGN Interventional case series study. METHODS Ten patients with a history of corneal blindness caused by failed penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and inability to accurately assess visual...

Laryngeal high-speed videoendoscopy is a state-of-the-art technique to examine physiological vibrational patterns of the vocal folds. With sampling rates of thousands of frames per second, high-speed videoendoscopy produces a large amount of data that is difficult to analyze subjectively. In order to visualize high-speed video in a straightforward and intuitive way, many methods have been propo...

Since January 1982, 275 early colonic carcinomas undergoing total endoscopic resection were studied. Of this series, 234 lesions showed some adenoma components, whereas the remaining 41 lesions lacked adenoma components. Minute carcinomas measuring </= 5 mm (21 lesions) were most commonly the hemispheric protruding type lesions (IIs, 9 lesions), followed by superficial protruding type lesions w...

INTRODUCTION  The effects of voiced vibration technique can be assessed by laryngeal imaging. Kymographic images derived from high-speed videoendoscopy allow actual visualization of vocal folds vibration. PURPOSE  The aim of this study is to identify the immediate effects of the voiced vibration technique in healthy vocal folds using high-speed digital laryngeal imaging. METHODS  Samples we...

Phoniatrics is the medical specialty involved in the management of communication and swallowing disorders. Videoendoscopy plays an important role in the assessment of various disorders in the clinical practice of phoniatrics: the voice as well as the speech and swallowing mechanisms can be analysed through this procedure. Aim of the study is to describe videoendoscopic application in daily phon...
