Certain data such as weight and dimensions of structures are important in dosimetry for treating cancer patients using radiotherapy. The objective of this study is to determine the morphometric features of trachea and larynx and discuss the possible correlation between the height and weight of these structures with other parameters such as height, weight and age of patients. 29 samples were measured using measuring tape and digital scale. The results of measurements showed significant correlation between the age of individuals and the weight and length of trachea and larynx. However, no significant correlation was found between the length and weight of trachea or larynx with either gender, height or weight of individuals.
