Pearls And Pitfalls In Head And Neck And Neuroimaging

Pearls and Pitfalls in Head and Neck and Neuroimaging illustrates and describes the imaging entities that can cause confusion and mismanagement in daily radiological practice. Frequent interpretation errors are covered in 105 cases that provide real-life clinical scenarios for focused and practical learning. The chosen cases represent a modern neuroradiology practice and cover the brain, spine and head and neck regions, including the full panoply of imaging modalities. The underlying reasons for common mistakes are analyzed and radiologic findings that help with the correct diagnosis are emphasized. A differential diagnosis is provided for each case with examples of alternative diagnoses, allowing readers to visually grasp the differentiating features. Pearls and Pitfalls in Head and Neck and Neuroimaging provides a valuable resource for general and sub-specialist radiologists needing to improve their diagnostic proficiency in adult and pediatric patients. This book also serves as a preparation resource for recertification exams in radiology.

In this unique volume, leading international experts share their experiences in the management of head and neck tumors, providing a guidebook for all surgeons dealing with head and neck neoplasms. Each chapter offers a concise description of useful 'pearls' and dangerous 'pitfalls' which must be avoided. Contributions cover topics from thyroid glands, neck metastases, and oral tumors to laryngeal, pharyngeal, and nasopharyngeal tumors, as well as salivary gland tumors, skull base tumors, and reconstruction surgery. In addition to frequent diseases which are encountered in everyday practice, some new therapeutic topics such as video-assisted thyroidectomy, robotic surgery, and management of the neck after organ preservation treatment are discussed. The 2nd edition has been extended by topical chapters of major practical interest including the latest findings and techniques. The new chapters are clearly indicated and can be recognized easily.

In this issue of Neuroimaging Clinics, guest editors Drs. Prashant Raghavan, Robert E. Morales, and Sugoto Mukherjee bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Imaging of the Post-Treatment Head and Neck. Top experts in the field cover key topics such as imaging of the postoperative temporal bone, imaging after sinonasal surgery, imaging after dental and TMJ surgery, advanced CT and MR imaging of the post-treatment head and neck, and more. Contains 15 relevant, practice-oriented topics including NI-RADS to predict residual or recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; lymph node dissection: principles and postoperative imaging; surgical free flaps and grafts in head and neck reconstruction: principles and postoperative imaging; imaging after facial fracture fixation; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on imaging of the post-treatment head and neck, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.

Master practical challenges of effectively diagnosing diseases of the head and neck, guided by illustrative algorithms and diagnostic cases.

In this issue of Neuroimaging Clinics, guest editor Dr. Tarik F. Massoud brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Neuroimaging Anatomy, Part 2: Head, Neck, and Spine. Anatomical knowledge is critical to reducing both overdiagnosis and misdiagnosis in neuroimaging. This issue is part two of a two-part series on neuroimaging anatomy that focuses on the head, neck, and spine. Each article addresses a specific area such as the orbits, sinonasal cavity, temporal bone, pharynx, larynx, and spinal cord. Contains 14 relevant, practice-oriented topics including anatomy of the orbits; maxillofacial skeleton and facial anatomy; temporal bone anatomy; craniocervical junction and cervical spine anatomy; anatomy of the spinal cord, coverings, and nerves; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on neuroimaging anatomy of the head, neck, and spine, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field.

Most imaging books are ordered according to underlying etiology. However, in real life clinical practice, radiologists usually make their differential diagnoses according to the image patterns, as the etiology is often unknown. Brain Imaging with MRI and CT presents over 180 disease processes and normal variants, grouping entities by these basic patterns to accentuate differential diagnostic features. High quality CT and MRI scans show multiple typical and distinguishing images for each entity. Common and unusual clinical scenarios are described, including dilated perivascular spaces, capillary teleangiectasia, Susac's syndrome and desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma. Both basic and advanced imaging techniques are used, reflecting the reality of clinical practice. This image-focused book emphasises the most pertinent clinical information relevant to the diagnostic process. Trainee and practising radiologists will find Brain Imaging with MRI and CT an invaluable and clinically relevant tool for learning and teaching.
