Summary

The primary goal of diagnostic imaging of the larynx is analysis of submucosal structures that are not visible by clinical or endoscopic means. Therefore, image analysis of the larynx should only be performed under knowledge of the results of clinical diagnosis. The anatomic relationships of the laryngeal skeleton, the intrinsic structures, and the surrounding soft tissue are presented synoptically.

Zusammenfassung

Primäres Ziel der bildgebenden Diagnostik des Larynx ist die Analyse der submukös gelegenen Strukturen, die der laryngoskopischen Beurteilung nicht zugänglich sind. Demzufolge gilt als allgemeine Regel, die bildgebende Diagnostik des Larynx unter Kenntnis der Befunde der endoskopischen Diagnostik vorzunehmen. Die topographisch-anatomischen Verhältnisse des Skeletts, der Binnenstrukturen und der Umgebung des Larynx werden synoptisch dargestellt werden.
