[Nuclear magnetic tomography in cervical lymph node swellings]

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and CT were performed in a patient suffering from carcinoma of the larynx with swollen cervical lymph nodes. MRI images in coronal planes give new diagnostic information about the spatial extension of pathologic findings and about the question of compression or infiltration of vessels. Exact topographic knowledge will be necessary. A subject of research is the differentiation between scar formation and tumour relapses.
