In the last years, laryngeal ultrasound has been finding increasingly wide application due to the growing availability of relevant up-to-date equipment, apparent technical simplicity and non-invasive character of the study. However, poor knowledge of the physical basis of this method coupled to ungrounded self-confidence of the operators and uncritical treatment of the obtained findings may lead to the overestimation of the diagnostic potential of this sonographic technique. This paper is focused on disadvantages of ultrasound examination of the larynx and associated acoustic artefacts that can be taken for true abnormal structures. Attempts at qualitative and quantitative interpretation of such images are fraught with wrong conclusions.
在过去几年中，由于相关最新设备的日益普及、该检查明显的技术简便性和非侵入性，喉部超声的应用越来越广泛。然而，对该方法物理基础的了解不足，加上操作者毫无根据的自信以及对所获结果不加批判的对待，可能导致对这种超声技术诊断潜力的高估。本文着重探讨喉部超声检查的缺点以及可能被误认为是真正异常结构的相关声学伪像。对这类图像进行定性和定量解释很容易得出错误结论。
