Abstract
In adjunct to direct laryngoscopy, CT and/or MRI are needed for an accurate staging of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinomas because both cross-sectional imaging modalities are known to reliably evaluate deep tumor infiltration. Except for the clinical background, this article reviews technical aspects of CT and MRI, the pathologic appearance of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinomas, and therapeutically relevant diagnostic aspects.
