Objective Judgement of Endoscopic Laryngeal Images
- Video Documentation of endoscopic findings simplifies diagnostic counseling of the patient and aids pre-operative discussion among the medical team. Judgment of such images is still subjective and can not give a quantitative evaluation of the disease process regarding diagnosis or response to treatment. Modern treatment of early laryngeal cancer with laserablation requires intensive follow up and frequent direct laryngoscopy under general anesthesia with blind biopsies to detect any tumor residual or recurrence. Inflammatory conditions of the larynx are frequently confused with other causes of dysphonia. Mapping anddigital analysis of the documented image will suggest the tumor site and avoids undue blind biopsies under anesthesia. However, varying illumination results in different colors reflected from the same object. To achieve quantitative analysis, color constancy has to be assured. Inthis paper, the environment is presented which allow the objective judgment of larngoscopies.
