During examination, the assessor often looks at 3 sonographic landmarks (namely, false VC (FC), true VC (TC) and arytenoids (AR)) to ascertain VC movement. However, it is unclear among these landmarks, which one provides the most reliable VC assessment as not all patients would have all three landmarks identified on the same examination.
