CT and MR evaluation of laryngeal carcinomas.
A prospective and comparative tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study on 110 patients with endoscopically examined and histologically proven laryngeal malignancy is presented. Post-operative pathological and intraradiological (CT vs. MRI) correlation are established. We conclude that MRI is the method of choice for staging laryngeal malignancies. MRI can also be used for follow-up (recurrence after surgery, evolution under radiation therapy).
