¹ Department of Clinical Radiology, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham B15 2TH and ² Goodhope Hospital, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, UK

• Benign pathology of the larynx needing imaging occurs less often than malignant conditions.
  
• Cross sectional imaging will assess submucosal lesions better than endoscopy.
  
• The appearances are often non-specific and biopsy will establish the diagnosis.
  
• The diagnosis of laryngeal cartilage invasion is crucial for optimum patient management.
  
• Patients with bulky tumours of the larynx will tolerate CT better than MRI.
