| To assess the feasibility of the clinical use of 3T MR imaging of early laryngeal carcinoma; - Systematic assessment of technical image quality and assessment of tumour visibility on 3T MRI. - Anteroposterior tumour extension, lateral tumour extension (measured from free edge of the vocal fold in mm), estimated tumour infiltration depth (mm) and estimated tumour volume (cc) after delineation of the tumour at 3T MRI by an experienced head and neck radiologist. - Anteroposterior tumour extension and lateral tumour extension (measured from free edge of the vocal fold in mm) during direct suspension laryngoscopy (reference standard). - Tumour infiltration depth (in mm and invasion of tissue layer: superficial lamina propria, epithelium, Reinke*s space, vocal ligament, vocalis muscle) on structured histopathologic examination. - Anteroposterior tumour extension, lateral tumour extension (mm), infiltration depth (mm) and estimated tumour volume (cc) on Computed Tomography, after delineation of the tumour by an experienced head and neck radiologist. | — |
