Abstract
A technique of contrast radiography of the nasopharynx is described and indications for the procedure are reviewed. The main advantage of using this method is the simple and effective way it outlines the tumour mass and shows its response to therapy and any localized recurrences. Characteristic features of tumours at different sites are illustrated. The potential usefulness of this technique in detecting early lesions is emphasized.
