Radiology and Laryngoscopy for the Diagnosis of Laryngeal Carcinoma

Abstract
A comparison is made of the radiologic and clinical findings in 51 patients with laryngeal carcinoma. The radiologic methods comprised conventional films, tomography and laryngography; the clinical examination technique included microlaryngoscopy and the use of a 90 degrees optical instrument. Laryngography was found to be superior to the other two radiologic methods, for the delineation of the tumors. Radiology should be performed before laryngoscopy and biopsy.
