“…Additionally, SPIRE enables to study the vocal fold oscillation in subjects where the top-down view of the oscillating vocal folds is blocked, e.g., by verticular fold hyperadduction or oscillation. This can be the case in muscle tension dysphonia [ 59 ] or special vocal techniques used in contemporary musical style singing like rattle [ 62 ]. Beyond vocal fold imaging, SPIRE could be applied to any periodic two-dimensional in-plane motion, as long as a gating signal with high temporal resolution is available.…”

Objective The slow spatial encoding of MRI has precluded its application to rapid physiologic motion in the past. The purpose of this study is to introduce a new fast acquisition method and to demonstrate feasibility of encoding rapid two-dimensional motion of human vocal folds with sub-millisecond resolution. Method In our previous work, we achieved high temporal resolution by applying a rapidly switched phase encoding gradient along the direction of motion. In this work, we extend phase encoding to the second image direction by using single-point imaging with rapid encoding (SPIRE) to image the two-dimensional vocal fold oscillation in the coronal view. Image data were gated using electroglottography (EGG) and motion corrected. An iterative reconstruction with a total variation (TV) constraint was used and the sequence was also simulated using a motion phantom. Results Dynamic images of the vocal folds during phonation at pitches of 150 and 165 Hz were acquired in two volunteers and the periodic motion of the vocal folds at a temporal resolution of about 600 µs was shown. The simulations emphasize the necessity of SPIRE for two-dimensional motion encoding. Discussion SPIRE is a new MRI method to image rapidly oscillating structures and for the first time provides dynamic images of the vocal folds oscillations in the coronal plane.

“…Voice usage differs considerably among various styles of singing. It is commonplace to regard some styles, especially those that use strong glottal adduction and high subglottal pressures, as potentially harmful to the phonatory mechanism [31] and consider them detrimental to vocal health [32,33]. Different styles of singing employ a broad range of special vocal effects labeled as Distortion, Rattle, Growl, Grunt, Creaking, Air added to the voice, Screams, Vocal Breaks, and Ornamentation technique [32].…”

Different styles of singing employ a broad range of special vocal effects labeled as Distortion, Rattle, Growl, Grunt, Creaking, Air added to the voice, Screams, Vocal Breaks, and Ornamentation technique [32]. Although largely perceived as unhealthy, more and more frequently it is argued in literature that these effects can be achieved in a healthy manner [34].…”

“…One such example is Complete Vocal Technique (CVT) -a method of singing teaching introduced in 1991 by Cathrine Sadolin [35]. It is mainly focused on presenting, characterizing, and teaching vocal effects and has since its publication achieved [25] international widespread recognition [32]. Another example is Estil Voice Training (EVT) -a widely known educational system for singing and speaking voice established in 1988 by the American singing voice pedagogue Jo Estill following her extensive research in the area of voice physiology [36].…”

“…The findings from literature conclude that although various vocal effects may indeed give the impression of "roughness and hoarseness, " if produced properly, used only briefly, in a controlled manner, and used as unique means of expression they do not lead to direct impairment of the singer's voice [20,32,34]. Table 1 presents major publications discussing the application of particular vocal effects in contemporary commercial singing without overloading the voice organ and thus eliminating the risk of injuries.…”

Singers, classified as "vocal performers" are at an increased risk of developing voice disorders. The area of contemporary commercial singing has not been studied as extensively as classical singing. Non-classical singing is generally considered detrimental to vocal health and thus the information on challenges contemporary commercial singers (CCS) pose to otolaryngologists and other healthcare professionals is scarce. The authors present an overview of contemporary commercial singing styles in comparison to classical singing, discuss the notion of non-classical style being harmful to vocal health, present major risk factors associated with developing voice disorders in contemporary commercial singers, and outline the diagnostic process of vocal health assessment in this group of occupational voice users. Given that contemporary commercial singers constitute a unique and vast group of elite vocal performers, the authors stress the importance of raising awareness among healthcare professionals of the fact that these patients require special considerations for voice evaluation and treatment in the occupational health and safety framework.
