This study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of fiber optic (FO) and distal chip (DC) flexible imaging platforms in the diagnosis of true vocal fold pathology when compared to the gold standard rigid transoral laryngeal telescopic examination. The recorded strobovideolaryngoscopic examinations of 34 consecutive patients were evaluated retrospectively by five raters. All stroboscopy segments were evaluated by two laryngologists, an otolaryngologist, a laryngology fellow, and an otolaryngology resident. Seventeen patients were examined with a high-quality, large-diameter, FO flexible laryngoscope (FO group) and 17 random patients were examined with a DC flexible laryngoscope (DC group). Each patient was also examined using rigid laryngeal videostroboscopy at the same sitting. Examinations of three patients from each group were presented twice to monitor internal consistency. Diagnoses of intrinsic vocal fold pat...
