This non-invasive test is primarily used to evaluate the airway, throat, trachea (windpipe), larynx (voice box), and surrounding soft tissues. It helps detect airway narrowing, soft tissue swelling, infections, foreign bodies, and other abnormalities affecting the neck and upper respiratory tract, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
