title: Application of surface coils to MR anatomy of the larynx.
abstract: The magnetic resonance (MR) scans of 10 patients with normal larynges were compared with cryomicrosections of two injected cadaver specimens. The MR images were obtained with a solenoid surface coil and high-resolution technique that provided images 4 mm thick displayed on a 256 X 256 matrix. The improved signal-to-noise ratio of the surface coil allowed a detailed study of normal anatomy in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes.
