Abstract
The low-frequency laryngeal ultrasound method significantly enhances the visualization of vocal cords, especially in patients who have diffuse thyroid cartilage calcification interrupting laryngeal ultrasound, and therefore enhances the overall efficacy of laryngeal ultrasound as a perioperative diagnostic tool for vocal cord palsy. Hence, we recommend using a low-frequency transducer (about 9-3Â MHz) for laryngeal ultrasound if it is available.
