The oropharynx is an interface between the airway and the digestive tract. Clinical evaluation and endoscopy suffice for the diagnosis of a variety of lesions, but tumors require cross-sectional imaging to assess local infiltration depth and lymphatic spread. This article discusses different lesions of the oropharynx with respect to imaging characteristics of CT and MRI, with a focus on resectability issues and decision-making.
口咽是气道和消化道之间的一个界面。临床评估和内镜检查足以诊断多种病变,但肿瘤需要进行横断面成像以评估局部浸润深度和淋巴扩散情况。本文讨论口咽的不同病变在CT和MRI成像特征方面的情况,重点关注可切除性问题及决策制定。
