Course Description

This 3-day mini-symposium course is designed to bring the practicing physician interested in imaging the neuroradiology and head and neck a range of useful and state-of-the-art information regarding the performance of imaging exams, the important anatomy and typical and unusual imaging findings, and pathology of a broad spectrum of diseases.  This practical information from some of the best speakers and experts in their field will present to you vital information on the most common pathologies that you can use immediately in your own practice.  The course has been structured to provide a wide range of lectures regarding common problems seen in an active practice.  The faculty will lecture on diseases of the head and neck, and will also present interesting case sessions for active audience participation.  The faculty is completely accessible for informal discussions, to answer questions, and to help participants with problem areas in imaging.

The cost per attendee would be $2495.  That would include the meeting and CME, food, lodging, beverages (including the bar but not premium beverages), golf, tennis, sporting clays, dock and pond fishing, lawn and tavern games, meeting space, refreshment breaks.  Any boat fishing or boar hunting can be added on an a la carte basis and split between those participating. Spouses would be free and can participate in all of the above as well.

Course Objectives:

1. Review the normal anatomy of the head and neck as depicted on imaging studies, and understand the compartment approach to lesion location.
2. Understand the imaging approach to patients with common head and neck presentations.
3. Increase your knowledge of the imaging of head and neck neoplasia, and the proper staging of tumors
4. Understand the important imaging differentials for neuroradiology epilepsy imaging and trauma.

Target Audience:

Radiologists, Head and Neck Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Neurologists, Neuro-Otologists, Radiation Oncologists, Radiology, and Otolaryngology residents or fellows, and other allied health care providers with an interest in the imaging and treatment of Neuroradiology and Head and Neck anatomy and pathology.
