Abstract
Objective:To study the efcacy of ultrasonography (US) in the assessment of Laryngeal Cancers along with computed tomography (CT). Materials and methods: 30 consecutive patients were undergoing US and CT to stage laryngeal cancer in this study. Two radiologists, who were blinded to the patients' clinical histories and histopathology, evaluated thyroid cartilage invasion on US and CT separately and independently. Result:CT achieved a sensitivity of 86.2% anda specicity of 100%, while USG attained a sensitivity of 62.1%and a specicity of 100%.Association of US ndings vs. HPE was not statistically signicant (p=0.2128).Association of CT Finding vs. HPE was not statistically signicant (p=0.0229). USG and CT compare pretherapeutic stagingaccuracy of laryngeal ca Conclusion: ncers and thereby impacting the management strategy.
