title: Appearances of the larynx after radiation therapy.
abstract: Laryngeal tomography and lateral Xerox radiographs from 21 cases of carcinoma of the larynx previously treated by irradiation were analyzed. Although false negatives and false positives did occur, radiology made a useful contribution to the diagnosis or exclusion of recurrence in a number of cases. The most relevant positive findings were: 1. Ulceration, 2. Asymmetrical swelling, 3. Failure of tumor mass to shrink.
