Laryngeal photography.

Various methods of still photography and videography of the larynx are described in this article, some simple, inexpensive, and recommended for residents and occasional laryngeal photographers, while others are more involved, costly, and recommended for serious laryngologists. The choice of a specific method depends upon the physician's need, the availability of the equipment, budget, and more importantly, photographic skill and imagination. Although still photography is a valuable method of laryngeal documentation today, videography increasingly is gaining favor. Because of its simplicity, reproducibility, time and cost effectiveness, and capacity to simultaneously record laryngeal images and voice, videography has distinct advantages and may someday replace still photography of the larynx.
