Comprehensive Guide to Head and Neck Imaging

Description

An academic radiologist with experience in the field of head and neck imaging authored this beginning reference book. The book adopts an anatomy-based methodology and steps the reader through an introduction to each compartment of the extracranial head and neck. Each region's precise anatomic definitions and limits are described, along with the imaging techniques that work best for assessing them. In addition, each chapter looks at the most prevalent and dangerous congenital, viral, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions affecting the head and neck. A chapter on radiation oncology's introduction is also provided to give the reader a rudimentary understanding of the underlying ideas behind this very effective and widely used therapy option. Additionally, the book uses photos, color plate drawings, and many sonographic, computed tomographic, and magnetic resonance imaging images.
