[en] Based on an analysis of the results of their first 20 examinations the authors provide evidence of the high informative value of CT examinations of laryngeal tumours. Despite limited technical and interpretation experience, the examinations were a success and effectively supplemented information obtained by clinical and laryngoscopic examinations in 17 of 20 patients. It is very probable that a combination of clinical examination, laryngoscopy, CT examination and biopsy will be in the near future the approach of choice and will restrict other hitherto made examinations such as simple X-ray, classic tomography and also contrast laryngography to a minimum, or that it will replace them completely. CT has, no doubt, reserves as regards the improvement of the methodical approach. (author)
