Abstract
The radiodiagnosis has made a great progress since the advent of computed tomography in 1970s. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is also a kind of computed tomography. These recently developed modalities have been readily utilized in the field of bronchoesophagology. Thirty-one cases of surgically resected laryngeal carcinoma were studied as to the extent of the disease by CT. CT delineated the paralaryngeal space and cricoarytenoid joint so well that CT was quite accurate in the staging of laryngeal carcinoma. Twenty-two cases of esophageal carcinoma were studied by MRI as to “A” factor. MRI was considered to be effective in the diagnosis of invasion to the aortic wall. Much has to be done, however, to confirm the effectiveness of MRI in the staging of esophageal carcinoma.
