US-guided electromagnetic needle tracking in LEMG helps to determine the exact position of the laryngeal structures. With further technical improvement of the stability of the electromagnetic needle tracking signal the US-guided electromagnetic needle tracking of the target muscles in the larynx could help to improve the accuracy of the transcutaneous LEMG.
