[MRI/CT x-ray comparison in the pre-operative evaluation of cancer of the larynx. Apropos of 46 cases].

The authors present the comparative value of CT scan and MRI in the pre-operative staging of 46 laryngeal carcinomas. The "in depth" evaluation conducts the choice of conservative surgery. CT scan is the reference but MRI reveals itself as effective and even more in certain cases. The spontaneous contrast gradient for soft tissues of the MR imaging explains this effectiveness of the method. The paraglottic space and the subglottic extension are more easily studied by MRI. If the expansion of the MRI Unities allows this indication of the pre-operative staging of laryngeal carcinomas is an excellent one.

[Computerized x-ray tomographic aspects of calcifying hepatic metastases. Incidence of cancer of colorectal origin].

A total of 24 patients with liver metastases of the calcifying type were detected during CT scan imaging for cancer of different primary origin (colorectal, ovarian, mammary, gastric, prostatic, melanoma). These calcifying metastases represented 27% of the 89 liver metastases cases detected, and the incidence of a colorectal origin for these calcifying lesions (20% of cases) appears to be highly significant, their number being relatively larger than reported in previous studies. Identification of liver calcifications of possible diagnostic importance requires a two-stage CT scan investigation, before and after bolus. Paraclinical examinations should be directed selectively towards the digestive tract when the primary tumor is unknown.
