“…7 During the next 5 years, multiple additional studies were published on laryngeal tomography illustrating the normal larynx as well as a variety of benign and malignant laryngeal pathologic processes. 7,45 Compared with laryngography, tomography had the advantage of being convenient and required no patient preparation. 7,46 In the late 1930s and early 1940s, tomography of the paranasal sinuses and temporal bones was introduced; however, it was the development of complex motion tomography (eg, hypocycloidal) in the 1950s that really advanced the imaging of the paranasal sinuses, orbits, facial bones, temporal bones, and skull base.…”

SUMMARY:Imaging of the head and neck was initially described within the first year after Roentgen's discovery of the x-ray and was used to localize foreign bodies in the head and neck area, including the orbital, laryngeal, and esophageal regions. Subsequently, x-rays were used to evaluate the air-filled paranasal sinuses, the pneumatized temporal bone, and the upper aerodigestive tract. Special views for evaluating these structures were developed by early investigators. As contrast agents were developed, a variety of invasive procedures were developed to assess the structures of the head and neck. CT and MR imaging were applied to the extracranial head and neck slightly later than the brain and spine; these modalities revolutionized head and neck radiology, finally allowing assessment of the deeper structures of this complex anatomic region.
