Description

The purpose of this session is to focus on the four domains of neuroradiology in brain, spine, head and neck and pediatric neuroimaging. The material will be centered on CT and MR imaging with application techniques. General disease categories of vascular, inflammatory, demyelinating, traumatic, degenerative, neoplastic, congenital and metabolic diseases of the CNS and the head and neck in adults and children will be discussed. Developed in conjunction with the ACR Education Center ™

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify limited relevant differential diagnoses for masses in different regions of the brain, spine and head and neck.
2. Review and prioritize imaging studies and provide pertinent imaging features that will guide therapy in patients with strokes or other vascular lesions of the brain or spine.
3. List imaging features that help radiologists provide accurate TNM staging of head and neck cancers.
