Evaluation of laryngeal cartilages by computed tomography

Computed tomography of the larynx was performed in 21 patients and 3 anatomic specimens for evaluation of laryngeal cancer. Special attention was directed to the appearance of the laryngeal cartilages in both the normal and abnormal examinations in order to establish criteria for cancerous invasion....

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Computed tomography of the larynx was performed in 21 patients and 3 anatomic specimens for evaluation of laryngeal cancer. Special attention was directed to the appearance of the laryngeal cartilages in both the normal and abnormal examinations in order to establish criteria for cancerous invasion. The problem presented by the normal nonuniformity of density of the cartilages is discussed in detail.
