The diagnostic value of CT in tumours of the pharynx is limited due to the reduced soft tissue contrast of this method. In the present study we report on our own experience with MR imaging of this area. We could demonstrate that MR possesses an increasing importance in the diagnosis of tumours of the head and neck. This is mainly due to the better soft tissue contrast which can even be improved by using the paramagnetic contrast medium Gd-DTPA in certain cases.
由于CT这种检查方法的软组织对比度较低,其在咽部肿瘤诊断中的价值有限。在本研究中,我们报告了自己在该区域进行磁共振成像(MR)检查的经验。我们可以证明,MR在头颈部肿瘤的诊断中具有越来越重要的作用。这主要是因为其软组织对比度更好,在某些情况下,使用顺磁性造影剂钆喷酸葡胺(Gd-DTPA)甚至可以进一步提高这种对比度。
