The advantages of an office-based US exam over that performed by radiology will be outlined. Finally, the sonographic features of nodules and lymph nodes and their attendant malignancy risk will be outlined.This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to check access. ...
Post adenoidectomy can lead to the formation of scar tissue, which in the long run could cause a narrowing of the airways. This event could occur, in particular, if muscle tissue or soft tissue suffered partial damage during the surgical approach.[24] The nasopharyngeal area is the site of ...
Although the anatomy is complex, lesions of the head and neck are relatively easily visualised both by direct vision and by conventional radiology (Fletcher and Jing, 1972; Dodd and Jing, 1977). Furthermore, biopsy within the pharynx and paranasal sinuses is a minor procedure, so that the ...
The computed tomographic (CT) scans of 44 patients who presented with nonthyroid/parathyroid lesions involving the soft tissues of the neck were analyzed. Among these patients, there were 26 with nodal masses, 6 with vascular lesions, 5 with neural lesions, and 8 with disease involving the conn...

Knowledge of the anatomy of the vasculature of the head and neck from the thorax to the skull base is critical to the approach to diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular disease. Awareness of the anatomic variations that may be encountered, common and uncommon, is necessary to avoid diagnostic...
Normal anatomy and tissue planes are often disrupted and sometimes difficult to recognize. While ectopic parathyroid adenomas are thought to be the most common cause of persistent hyperparathyroidism following neck exploration, a number of reasons other than ectopic tumors can be responsible for ...
▸ A fully interactive atlas of Head & Neck anatomy, covering the anatomy from the top of the cranium to the level of the thyroid, in all 3 orthogonal directions, in both soft tissue and bone window. ▸ Pick a projection and window setting that matches your clinical case at hand, and...
In addition to long contouring times, there are challenges that derive from a dependency on computed tomography (CT) scans as primary reference images for tumor and healthy tissue anatomy. The inherent limitation of CT images in terms of image contrast on soft tissues makes segmentation challenging...
