Abstract
The aim of this review is to show the distance between the technical side of OCT and the understanding and needs of the laryngologists. In updated scientific research on OCT in laryngology, especially of the vocal folds, there are some obstacles of the techniques before the clinicians can use optical coherence tomography routinely. This dialog between technicians and clinicians must be refined. If this had been the case earlier it is possible that basic pathology demands could have been met by the technicians, e.g. edema of the larynx was studied already studied in 2005. Examples of development of instrumentation is presented hand in hand with diagnostics in the upper airways with OCT, lately technology of ultra-high resolution could even show cellular differences in laryngology. The combination of optical coherence tomography with deep learning is a clinical application possibility for future very necessary evidence-based studies for clinical use.
