Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) promises the achievement of considerable improvements in diagnostic procedures in otorhinolaryngology. In this article, the advantages of the technique are presented and their significance in diagnosis of head and neck disorders is discussed. An important advantage is the fine and detailed representation of tumours particularly in the soft tissue of the neck and the base of the tongue, which is made possible by an enhancement of contrast and by the improved spatial imaging based on the frontal and sagittal projection plane. MRI also seems to provide a new approach to the diagnosis of tumours of the glomus jugulare and the carotid body and of acoustic neurinomas. Besides, it will be possible to obtain more detailed information on the depth of infiltration of laryngeal carcinomas with the aid of surface coils.
磁共振成像（MRI）有望在耳鼻喉科诊断程序方面取得显著改进。本文介绍了该技术的优势，并讨论了其在头颈部疾病诊断中的意义。一个重要优势是能够精细且详细地显示肿瘤，尤其是在颈部软组织和舌根部位，这得益于对比度的增强以及基于额状面和矢状面投影平面的改进空间成像。MRI似乎还为颈静脉球瘤、颈动脉体瘤和听神经瘤的诊断提供了新方法。此外，借助表面线圈将有可能获得有关喉癌浸润深度的更详细信息。
