Simplified endoscopic photography for anatomic correlation with CT and MR of the larynx and pharynx
Abstract:
Improvements in photographic film and the availability of fluid light transmitters rather than fibro-optics permit endolaryngeal and nasopharyngeal photography to be conducted using the same light levels as simple diagnostic examinations of these areas. The added perspective of endoscopic examination can often clarify many confusing bulky lesions that distort CT and MR anatomy. Thus endoscopic photography is a tremendous teaching tool.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and solid...
