Overview

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of hypopharyngeal cancer. Findings on MRI suggestive of hypopharyneal cancer include tumors are hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2.

MRI

Findings on MRI suggestive of hypopharyngeal cancer include:[1][2]

  • Tumors are hypointense on T1
  • Tumors are hyperintense on T2

MRI is better than CT scan for the evaluation of soft tissue involvement and cartilage invasion.
