MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
Patient ID: 123456 Patient
Name: Henry O'Hara Age:
30 Race:
White
REFERRING PHYSICIAN: Osay Canusee
REPORT: MRI NECK AND LARYNX
EXAMINATION: Total body bone scan
INDICATION FOR EXAM: Primary laryngeal carcinoma with
adenopathy
PROCEDURE: The following sequences were obtained:
1) Sagittal MPGR TR:500 TE:25 4 mm intervals
2) Sagittal PS TR:500 TE:20 5 mm intervals
3) Coronal PS TR:500 TE 20 4 mm intervals
4) Axial PS TR:400 TE:20 8 mm intervals
5) Axial SE TR:2000 TE:20/60 5 mm intervals
FINDINGS:
There is enlargement of the base of the right aryepiglottic
fold which represents the patient's primary tumor.
There is otherwise no evidence for primary laryngeal
tumor. The thyroid cartilage is normal as are the
arytenoids. The true and false cords are normal in
appearance. The remainder of the larynx is unremarkable
in appearance. Unfortunately the coronal images are
marred by a moderate degree of motion artifact associated
with swallowing. There is an enlarged right cervical
lymph node measuring 2.5 x 2.5 x 3 cm in size. It
is closely adherent to the right sternocleidomastoid
muscle as well as the right neurovascular bundle.
No additional cervical lymph nodes are identified.
There is otherwise no evidence for tumor extension
into the perilaryngeal soft tissues. The remainder
of the examination is unremarkable in appearance.
IMPRESSION:
1. Asymmetric thickening of the base of the right
aryepiglottic fold representing the patient's primary
tumor. Otherwise normal appearance of the larynx.
2. 2.5 x 2.5 x 3 cm right cervical lymph node with
extension into the right sternocleidomastoid muscle
and the right neurovascular sheath as described.
