[Diagnostic value of nuclear magnetic resonance tomography in space occupying lesions of the pharynx]. 1987

Radiologische Klinik der Universität München.

The diagnostic value of CT in tumours of the pharynx is limited due to the reduced soft tissue contrast of this method. In the present study we report on our own experience with MR imaging of this area. We could demonstrate that MR possesses an increasing importance in the diagnosis of tumours of the head and neck. This is mainly due to the better soft tissue contrast which can even be improved by using the paramagnetic contrast medium Gd-DTPA in certain cases.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D010614 Pharynx A funnel-shaped fibromuscular tube that conducts food to the ESOPHAGUS, and air to the LARYNX and LUNGS. It is located posterior to the NASAL CAVITY; ORAL CAVITY; and LARYNX, and extends from the SKULL BASE to the inferior border of the CRICOID CARTILAGE anteriorly and to the inferior border of the C6 vertebra posteriorly. It is divided into the NASOPHARYNX; OROPHARYNX; and HYPOPHARYNX (laryngopharynx). Throat,Pharynxs,Throats
