  • Title: [MRT of tumors of the larynx and hypopharynx using Gd-DTPA: clinical value].
    Author: Vogl T, Steger W, Grevers G, Schramm A, Lissner J.
    Journal: Rofo; 1990 Apr; 152(4):405-11. PubMed ID: 2160099.
    Abstract:
    Thirty one patients with tumours of the larynx and hypo-pharynx were studied by MRI, both with and without the para-magnetic contrast medium, GD-DTPA. The results were compared with pre-operative laryngoscopy and the final pathological tumour classification. The most accurate results were obtained by comparing T1-weighted sequences before and after the use of GD-DTPA. Because of the relatively rapid mode of examination and the specific enhancement, the method proved ideal for evaluating tumours of the larynx and hypo-pharynx. MRI is a valuable diagnostic technique for staging and treatment planning of patient with tumours of the larynx and hypo-pharynx.
