Patient-specific computational models of vocal recovery from phonosurgery
EF 2017-18
Résumé
Voice is the primary means for communication. Disordered voice is a growing public health concern that afflicts almost 30% of the general population in North America and other countries in the world. Treatment outcomes for voice disorders are however varied greatly between individuals. This project seeks to understand individual's differences in vocal recovery after surgical removal of benign vocal fold lesions. We will quantify an individual's vocal recovery using a combination of biological and instrumental measurements. We will further use computer simulations to reveal how patient factors can be modified to improve the vocal recovery after surgery.
