Head and Neck Pathology Through Anatomy

This ARRS Virtual Symposium on Thursday, November 14, will simplify the radiologic assessment of challenging head and neck pathologies by presenting an anatomy-based approach to cross-sectional imaging interpretation. This symposium has been designed to be of value to both general radiologists and subspecialty neuroradiologists seeking to improve their interpretive skills. Ten sessions will cover the major anatomic sites within the head and neck, including: a) the paranasal sinuses, b) orbits, c) temporal bones, d) skull base, e) oral cavity and teeth, f) parotid space, g) carotid and parapharyngeal spaces, h) visceral space, i) retropharyngeal and perivertebral spaces, and j) upper aerodigestive tract and larynx. Throughout this symposium, our expert teachers will present numerous illustrative cases that highlight the multimodality imaging appearance of normal head and neck anatomy, as well as common and uncommon pathologies encountered at each anatomic site.

Course Director: Nicholas A. Koontz, MD
Presenters: Luke Ledbetter, Blair Winegar, Amy Juliano, Tanya Rath, Remy Lobo, Nicholas Koontz, Kalen Riley, Ann Jay, Laura Eisenmenger, and Richard WigginsAccreditation and Designation Statements
The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Estimated time to complete the activity: 2 hours per module (4 total hours)
Target Audience: The target audience for this activity is radiologists at all training levels with an interest in head and neck imaging.

Goals and Objectives: At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the cross-sectional imaging anatomy of the head and neck, including the major constituent structures found in each space.
• Differentiate pathological processes (including neoplastic, infectious, inflammatory, traumatic, and congenital) from normal anatomy in the head and neck on CT and MRI.
• Report a succinct and appropriate differential diagnosis for lesions found on CT and MRI of the head and neck using imaging features and clinical information.
• Understand the strengths and limitations of CT and MRI in the imaging assessment of different head and neck pathologies.
