Abstract

Imaging of the oral cavity, the larynx, and the pharynx must be coordinated with the clinical exam [1, 2]. The information acquired at imaging usually emphasizes the deeper tissues as the superficial assessment is done by direct visualization. The description of the anatomy is key to description of any lesion.
