Differential Diagnosis in Head and Neck Imaging


Book Description

With its complex anatomy and diversity of landmarks, the head and neck region poses a special challenge to clinical and radiologic diagnosis. Sound therapeutic decision making requires the use of modern imaging procedures to define the precise location and extent of pathologic processes and delineate the involvement of adjacent structures. Other important information is derived from the vascularity of a lesion, its internal structure, its homogeneity, and the nature of its margins. All these criteria will suggest a radiologic differential diagnosis that forms the basis for an accurate interpretation of the findings. This book offers a systematic approach to differential diagnosis based on the experience gained in more than 4000 comparative clinical and radiologic examinations. Each chapter includes images that illustrate the differentiating criteria that are applied to various types of pathology. Besides demonstrating the key elements of an accurate differential diagnosis, the images show how radiologic tissue characterization is not possible for all lesions, and how imaging can direct the biopsy procedures which may be needed to establish a diagnosis.

Diagnostic Imaging of the Head and Neck


Book Description

A single-authored, clinically oriented text on imaging of the head-and-neck, frequently a difficult area for radiology residents and general radiologists to master. Readers will find key diseases highlighted and a guide to differential diagnosis of various conditions. Though the primary image focus is on MRI, correlations with CT and PET images and strong coverage of anatomic variants--to distinguish those from the presence of disease--are major strengths of the book. Other features include excellent image quality, diagrams and tables. While this text does not replace the need for a comprehensive text, it should be an essential resource at the reading station and on rotation.




Atlas of Head and Neck Imaging


Book Description

Designed for easy use at the PACS station of viewbox, here is your right-hand tool and pictorial guide for locating, identifying, and accurately diagnosing lesions of the extracranial head and neck. This beautifully produced atlas employs the spaces concept of analysis, which helps radiologists directly visualize complex head and neck anatomy and pathology. With hundreds of high quality illustrations, this book makes the identification and localization of complex neck masses relatively simple. This book provides CT and MR examples for more than 200 different diseases of the suprahyoid and infrahyoid neck, as well as clear and concise information on the epidemiology, clinical findings, pathology, and treatment guidelines for each disease. Each space within the head and neck has its own separate section, with examples of the common pathology that arises in this area. A standard format consisting of "Epidemiology, Clinical Presentation, Pathology, Treatment, and Imaging Findings," allows quick and efficient access to well-structured subjects. This uniform organization streamlines research for radiologists at any level of training. Although well over 200 pathologies are included within this remarkable text, Atlas of Head and Neck Imaging focuses primarily on the suprahyoid and infrahyoid neck, providing exceptionally detailed information on the most challenging aspects of this field. Radiologists and radiation oncologists will find this visual text ideal as a quick anatomic reference and diagnostic tool. Radiology residents preparing for board exams and neuroradiology fellows and staff studying for the CAQ exam will also benefit from the wealth of information.
