title: Pre-therapeutic evaluation of laryngeal carcinomas using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: A prospective and comparative computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study on 90 patients with endoscopically examined and histologically proven laryngeal malignancy is presented. Post-operative pathological and intra-radiological (CT vs. MRI) correlations are established. We conclude that MRI is the method of choice for staging laryngeal malignancies.
