Simplified endoscopic photography for anatomic correlation with CT and MR of the larynx and pharynx.
Improvements in photographic film and the availability of fluid light transmitters rather than fibro-optics permit endolaryngeal and nasopharyngeal photography to be conducted using the same light levels as simple diagnostic examinations of these areas. The added perspective of endoscopic examination can often clarify many confusing bulky lesions that distort CT and MR anatomy. Thus endoscopic photography is a tremendous teaching tool.
