Abstract
A computed tomographic analysis of normal laryngeal anatomy was undertaken using cadaver larynxes. This was part of a larger project in which patients with laryngeal carcinoma were routinely evaluated in the computed tomographic (CT) body scanner. The appearance of normal laryngeal anatomy had to be delineated before disease processes of the larynx were evaluated, and this was accomplished using a computed tomographic technique with 5βmm slice thicknesses and a 3βmm overlap. The scan slices were then compared with anatomic sections taken at the same levels. The comparisons demonstrate an ideal level of accuracy that can be approached in the inβvivo larynx only with use of the latestβgeneration scanners. However, CT scanning is of immediate usefulness in the diagnosis of laryngeal pathology.

Computed tomographic (CT) scan acquisition speed, interscan delay time, and image quality have significantly improved during the past decade. Thus CT has become a standard against which newer techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are validated. Comparison between CT and other modalitie
