[Comparative contribution of endoscopy, x-ray computed tomography and MRI in the preoperative evaluation of cancers of the endolarynx: apropos of 18 surgically-treated patients].
The authors carried out a prospective and comparative study of 18 patients with endolaryngeal carcinoma, with preoperative imaging of the extent of the disease by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The correlations between CT, MRI, endoscopy and postoperative histology are reported. It appears to the authors that the contribution of imaging is evident and that at present the reliability of CT is comparable to that of MRI, taking account of the current technical problems of MRI.
