摘要: Summary Objectives This study aims to investigate the relationship between anterior cricothyroid (CT) space at rest with vocal range in female singers. Potential associations and voice categories, age, ethnicity, anthropometric indices, neck dimensions, laryngeal data along habitual speaking fundamental frequency were also explored. Study Design is a cohort study. Methods Laryngeal dimensions CT heights of thyroid cricoid cartilages measured using ultrasound 43 healthy, classically trained, singers during quiet respiration. Voice categories (soprano mezzo-soprano), weight, height, body mass index, circumference length, cartilage heights, practice performance range, lowest highest notes collected. Results The main finding was that mezzo-sopranos have significantly wider resting than sopranos (11.6 mm versus 10.4 mm; P = 0.007). Mezzo-sopranos had lower "lowest highest" sopranos. There no significant correlation magnitudes range. participants narrowest widest similar ranges. Conclusions These results suggest not major determinant
