| Popis: |
MRI appearances of laryngeal cartilages, normal or invaded by cancer, are still relatively unfamiliar to the majority of clinicians. Twelve primary laryngeal tumors out of a series of 65 patients who were investigated by MRI were also examined postoperatively by macro- and microscopic sectioning of the surgical specimens. Images were obtained with a 0.6 Tesla superconductive system using a half saddle-shaped surface coil. The authors emphasize the value of a combined use of Ti weighted and proton density spin echo images. Tl weighted images permit differentiation between pathological and normal bone marrow. Proton density images allow separation between non-ossified cartilage and tumor tissue. MRI is an additional tool in the diagnostic work-up of cartilage invasion by cancer. |
