Magnetic resonance imaging of the tongue, oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx of normal subjects was accomplished and normal anatomy was demonstrated. Images were acquired using surface coils and a multislice 2D-FT spin echo 500/28 pulse sequence on a 0.3 T permanent magnet (Fonar B-3000). Axia, coronal, and sagittal images were obtained and normal anatomic structures identified. MRI is an excellent technique for the demonstration of anatomy of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, and tongue.
