[Cepstrum analysis in voice disorders].
Objective data and reproducible procedures are increasingly demanded for assessment and long-term comparison in voice disturbances. Well-known electroacoustic methods like formant analysis, autocorrelation and inverse filtering have been applied for this purpose, though without leaving experimental stage. The cepstrum analysis presented here permits an easy and distinct separation of glottal pitch and filter function of the vocal tract. In this study, 112 normal and hoarse voices were analyzed. The sum of amplitudes of the first cepstral pitch peaks differed significantly between the different degrees of hoarseness (0-3). Disturbances producing hoarseness, however, could not be sufficiently differentiated by the method in its present state.
