Abstract
To compare CT and MRI in the diagnosis of laryngeal carcinoma Eighty‐two participants, aged 18‐60 years with laryngeal carcinoma of both genders were selected. All MR imaging studies were performed on a 3T MR imaging system with a 16‐channel head and neck coil. CT scans were performed with a 128‐slice CT scanner in the dual‐energy CT mode 27. Out of 82 patients, males were 48 and females were 34. Histopathology showed 82 (100%), CT assessed lesions in 80 (97.5%) and MRI in 81 (98.7%) of laryngeal carcinoma cases. The sensitivity of MRI was 98.1, specificity was 95.4 and positive predictive value (PPV) was 96.5. The sensitivity of CT was 92.6, specificity was 88.6 and positive predictive value (PPV) was 93.4. While the MRI is more effective in identifying laryngeal cancer the two methods CT and MRI may be comparable.
