title: Current advances in radiological diagnosis of laryngeal cancer - "optimum" method, exposure data, projection.
abstract: An acceptable roentgenologic evaluation of the laryngeal status can only be made at present with the use of contrast medium. Further, a high potential technique should be used, combined, if possible, with a p.a. projection. Lesions of 1-2 mm size should be detectable with this technique. Xeroradiography is not at present superior to conventional roentgenography and involves an increased radiation hazard.
