Diagnostic Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Athletes with Vocal Cord Dysfunction
Rochester, MN; Minneapolis, MN
The purpose of this study is to find out if we can use ultrasound to identify people with breathing problems from their vocal cords. Ultrasound machines use sound waves to see inside your body. In this case, we will be looking at the vocal cords in your neck. If we can use ultrasound to see this problem, then we won’t need to use a camera inside of a person’s throat to diagnose this problem.
