ABSTRACT
State-of-the-art MR imaging of the larynx and hypopharynx with high-resolution surface coils, parallel imaging techniques, and DWI has several advantages over CT for assessing submucosal tumor spread, in particular neoplastic involvement of the paraglottic space, laryngeal cartilages, and extralaryngeal soft tissues. Current diagnostic MR imaging criteria based on a combination of distinct imaging features on morphologic sequences combined with DWI allow improved discrimination between tumor, peritumoral inflammation, and fibrosis and, ultimately, an increased precision for submucosal tumor delineation, which is a key prerequisite for tailored treatment options. Multiparametric MR imaging with DWI has a higher diagnostic performance than CT.
