Description

A transverse still image of the upper airway using the high frequency, linear transducer at the level of the true vocal cords (TV). Sternocleidomastoid muscles (SM) are seen anterior in the image. The true vocal cords appear as a linear structure that moves with phonations and is generally hypoechoic compared to the false vocal cords. The thyroid cartilage (T) appears hyperechoic in the image and provides a good acoustic window to visualize the vocal cords.
