title: Imaging of the larynx and cervical trachea.
abstract: Few new concepts have been introduced recently into the literature on imaging of the larynx and cervical trachea. Instead, the applications of recent technical advances have been further investigated. Most of the interest was directed at imaging of laryngeal cancer using CT and MR imaging. Several papers addressed ways in which imaging makes an impact on case management by detecting tumor extension not obvious to the clinician who uses a mirror or endoscope to directly visualize the larynx.
