The larynx is a complex organ, central to the functions of respiration, swallowing, and voice production. Despite 40 years of progress in laryngeal imaging, examination of vocal fold vibration using stroboscopy remains an imperfect science, dependent on a subjectivity often referred to as the "art" of interpretation. For instance, he discusses tasks that facilitate a view of the inferior TVF mucosa, how to compensate for poor stroboscopic light tracking, how to improve the view of the TVFs when obstructed by false vocal fold compression, and errors in interpretation to avoid.
