“…This examination could be performed quickly on equipment available in most radiology departments without the use of a contrast agent and no need for anesthesia or other patient preparation. 52,53 The use of xeroradiography of the larynx was also advocated to improve delineation of the larynx and surrounding soft tissues. 54 Multiple radiographic views were developed to fully assess the detailed overlapping anatomy of the head and neck.…”

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.
