Kurzfassung: Imaging of the larynx must be coordinated with the clinical exam. The information acquired at imaging usually emphasizes the deeper tissues as the superficial assessment is done by direct visualization. The description of the anatomy is key to description of any lesion. Several key anatomic structures are important to the radiologic assessment of the larynx. Perhaps the most important relationship in the larynx is that of the false vocal fold, true vocal fold, ventricle complex. The ventricle is a crucial reference point. Much imaging of tumors is aimed at defining the location of a lesion relative…
