Laryngoscopy (laryngoscopy) is a commonly used examination procedure in otolaryngology. A distinction can be made between direct and indirect laryngoscopy, with indirect laryngoscopy being more commonly performed in ENT practice. When the pharynx and larynx are examined, it is called pharyngo-laryngoscopy. Pharyngo-laryngoscopy allows examination of the function of the larynx during speech and breathing and … Laryngoscopy (Laryngectomy)
Laryngeal stroboscopy (synonym: laryngeal stroboscopy) is a procedure performed in otolaryngology. It involves using a stroboscope to visualize the rapid movements of the vocal folds by flashing light during laryngoscopy (laryngoscopy). Indications (areas of application) Suspected functional voice disorders – these include, in particular, hoarseness or pain in the throat area after prolonged speech; functional … Laryngeal Stroboscopy
Antroscopy (synonym: maxillary sinusoscopy) is an invasive procedure in otolaryngology for precise endoscopic evaluation of the maxillary sinus. If there is a need for therapeutic intervention, the diagnostic component of maxillary sinus endoscopy can be augmented with minimally invasive surgical intervention as a treatment modality. Maxillary sinusoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis of … Maxillary Sinus Endoscopy (Antroscopy)
Nasal endoscopy (nasal cavity endoscopy; synonym: nasal endoscopy) is a frequently used examination procedure that is applied in the field of otolaryngology. It is considered a standard diagnostic examination of the nasal cavity and nasopharynx, as well as the nasal mucosa with assessment of the entrances to the paranasal sinuses (NNH). Nasal endoscopy further allows … Nasal Endoscopy
Epipharyngoscopy (synonyms: nasopharyngoscopy; nasopharyngoscopy) is a frequently used examination procedure that is applied in the field of otolaryngology. It is usually used for diagnostic observation of the nasopharynx, but also allows biopsies (tissue sampling) to be taken. Indications (areas of application) Suspected acute or chronic pharyngitis (inflammation of the throat). Malformations in the area of … Nasopharyngoscopy (Epipharyngoscopy)
Peak flow (English : peak expiratory flow, PEF; synonyms: PEF value; peak expiratory flow; maximum expiratory flow rate) is the airflow, or more precisely the maximum respiratory flow rate, during forced vigorous expiration (expiration).The PEF value is determined during spirometry and can be read from the flow-volume diagram. Another measurement method-which can also be performed … Peak Flow Measurement
Positron emission tomography (PET; tomography – from the ancient Greek: tome: the cut; graphein: to write) is a nuclear medicine imaging technique that enables the visualization of metabolic processes through the use of low-level radioactive substances. This is helpful in the diagnosis of inflammations, tumors and other diseases with increased or decreased metabolic processes. The … Positron Emission Tomography
Rhinomanometry refers to a measurement procedure of the volume flow passing through the main nasal cavity (i.e., from the nasal valves to the posterior nasal openings). It provides objective measurement data on the degree of nasal patency or obstruction (Latin obstructio, occlusion). Indications (areas of application) Checking the function of the nose in the respiratory … Measurement of Nasal Patency: Rhinomanometry
Paranasal sinus sonography (synonyms: paranasal sinus sonography, ultrasound of the paranasal sinuses) is used for ultrasound diagnostics in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) medicine and dentistry. As a sonographic procedure, this examination is characterized above all as particularly low-risk or with few side effects, since no X-rays are used.The paranasal sinuses are referred to in … Ultrasound of the Paranasal Sinuses (Paranasal Sinus Sonography)
