Abstract:
Knowledge of axial anatomy of the different laryngeal structures, identification of the plan of the cords, and relations between the true and false vocal cords is essential for laryngeal surgery where anatomical and radiological correlation is necessary for optimal orientation and guidance. This review constitutes an atlas of axial anatomy of the larynx obtained from a multidetector CT scan, describing the skeletal cartilage, the different folds constituted by laryngeal ligaments covered by mucosa, and the fatty laryngeal spaces. It shows that CT scan and the different reconstructions specifically virtual endoscopy are a valuable adjunct in laryngeal exploration.

Larynx
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
