Abstract

The role of modern imaging techniques in imaging the larynx has continued to evolve over the last 10 years as a result of technological advances which have decreased scan acquisition time and otherwise improved our ability to obtain high resolution, thin section (1-3 mm) images. These technical developments permit the radiologist to visualize and assess the laryngeal anatomy free of motion artifacts.
