Head and Neck Imaging: Case Review Series

By David M. Yousem and Nafi Aygun

Book Overview

This first volume in the new Case Review series focuses on Head and Neck Imaging from a multimodality perspective and is perfectly customized to meet the self testing needs of those preparing for the exams. Head and Neck Imaging is a distinct subspecialtyarea of radiology and of neuroradiology, MRI, CT, and tremendous advances in plain film imaging have made the radiologic evaluation of pathology in this anatomically complex region of head and neck possible as never before. This must be mastered in order to practice radiology: this book is a perfect tool for this preparation process. Two hundred unknown head and neck cases with 400 images are succinctly presented in random order with questions, answers, commentary, references, and cross-references to the relevant REQUISITES volume. Differential diagnoses and pertinent radiological findings will be emphasized, but relevant clinical points also will be covered. Cases will be divided by difficulty level, with a division between more common cases and the more unusual and challenging cases. Perfect for the resident and fellow in radiology and the practising radiologist preparing for all levels of exams, as well as neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, maxillofacial and head and neck surgeons, oncologists, ophthalmologists, and radiologic technologists.
