Computed tomography of laryngeal carcinoma: technique, imaging findings and implications for radiation therapy.
Optimal radiological visualisation of laryngeal carcinoma demands for a tailored imaging technique. The technique for computed tomography of the larynx is reviewed, and imaging findings in laryngeal carcinoma are described. The application of CT-findings for selection of patients into the favourable group for radiation therapy is discussed. The use of CT in the follow-up of irradiated laryngeal carcinoma is reviewed.
