Notwithstanding the important role of direct clinical and endoscopic examination in modern management of pathological conditions of the larynx, radiological study the and, more specifically, cross-sectional imaging by CT and MRI make definite diagnostic contributions by virtue of their potential to display superbly the deeper extent of laryngeal lesions. Indeed, remarkable progress has been achieved during recent years in CT and MRI techniques as applied to the neck region. This book sets out to provide a sorely needed update of our knowledge of the diagnostic potential of these cross-sectional methods and constitutes a very welcome addition to our series "Medical Radiology", which aims to cover all important clinical imaging fields of modern diagnostic radiology. It will be of great interest to general and head and neck radiologists as well as to ENT surgeons and radiotherapists. Professor R. Hermans and the other distinguished contributors to this work are internationally renowned experts in the field and they have accumulated vast experi ence and a wealth of radio-pathological knowledge of the larynx over the years. I would like to congratulate them most sincerely for this outstanding volume, its comprehensive contents and its superb illustrations. I hope that this book will meet with the same great success as previously published volumes in the series. I would appreciate any constructive criticism that might be offered.

This book comprehensively covers state-of-the-art cross-sectional imaging of the larynx. The radiological anatomy of the larynx is described in detail, and the imaging findings in benign and malignant laryngeal disease are extensively discussed. Post-treatment changes are carefully described. The benefit of imaging in the clinical management of laryngeal pathology is highlighted, including its role in patient surveillance after treatment of laryngeal cancer. Furthermore, cutting-edge technical developments, including virtual endoscopy based on multislice CT, dynamic MRI, and functional imaging of laryngeal tumors, are reviewed. This book will enable the reader to achieve a higher level of sophistication in the performance and interpretation of laryngeal imaging studies.
