Stroboscopy is a diagnostic technique commonly used in the field of laryngology and otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat medicine) to assess and visualize the function of the vocal folds. It involves the use of a stroboscope, which is a device that emits rapid flashes of light synchronized with the frequency of vocal fold vibration. By employing this synchronized illumination, stroboscopy allows for a slow-motion-like view of vocal fold movement during phonation. This technique is particularly valuable in evaluating vocal fold vibratory patterns, detecting subtle irregularities, and diagnosing various voice disorders. Stroboscopic examination aids in the assessment of vocal fold function, helping healthcare professionals to make accurate diagnoses and develop appropriate treatment plans for individuals with voice-related concerns.
