Understanding How A Strobe Works • Strobe box has two types of light, a flashing Xenon and a constant Halogen for constant viewing. • A microphone is used to detect the Fundamental Frequency of the vocal folds. • The flash is synchronized (video rate 30 times a second) or Pitch rate.

Understanding How A Strobe Works • The flashing Strobe light creates an illusion that the cords are moving in slow motion, but it is actually a composite image, sampled from a variety of glottal cycles. Seventh Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 21 -23, 2017| Chicago, IL
Muscle Vibratory layer Any change that affects this layer – stiffness of vocal fold layers, weakness or failure of closure, imbalance between R and L vocal folds from a lesion on one vocal fold – causes voice problems. Seventh Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 21 -23, 2017| Chicago, IL
Diagnostic Value of Stroboscopic Examination in Hoarse Patients • “Videostroboscopy contributed significant diagnostic information in 27. 2% of the cases” (versus non-stroboscopic means). • “It was instrumental in changing the diagnosis in 10% of the cases. ” • Case no. 4: original diagnosis was “recurrent laryngeal cancer”; changed to “excessive mucous” • Conclusion: “Stroboscopy should be performed in selected patients suspected of vocal fold pathology. It is especially useful in serial examinations to help assess treatment progress. ” – “Diagnostic Value of Stroboscopic Examination in Hoarse Patients”, Woo, Peak, et. al. ; 1991: Journal of Voice, Vol. 5; No. 3 Seventh Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 21 -23, 2017| Chicago, IL
More Pronounced Results In Study Done By Sataloff, et. al • Diagnoses were noted before and after employing use of videostroboscopy in 377 patients • Results: – 29% of original diagnoses had additional diagnosis added – 18% of original diagnoses were incorrect – 47% of original diagnoses were modified • Sataloff, et. al. ; “Strobovideolaryngoscopy: Results and Clinical Value; Annals of Oto, Rhino, Laryngo, September 1991 Seventh Annual ENT for the PA-C | April 21 -23, 2017| Chicago, IL
