Course Description

This course is designed as a state-of-the-art imaging review of diseases that affect the brain, spine, and head and neck. An international faculty has chosen subject material that emphasizes their approach to solving clinically relevant problems involving these 3 areas. Traditional imaging as well as the benefits and caveats of advanced imaging techniques will be addressed when pertinent. Ample time for questions and discussion will be provided.

Educational Objectives

At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:

• Be familiar with the differential diagnosis and utility of conventional and advanced imaging to arrive at a diagnosis of the diseases of the central nervous system, spine and head and neck.
• Integrate the imaging of complex neuroradiology into a “clinical practice.”
• Integrate information presented in the course into efforts to improve their imaging skills.

Target Audience

This program is designed for general radiologists and neuroradiologists. Neurologists, neurosurgeons, and otolaryngologists may also find the program beneficial as could allied health care professionals who desire an update on recent imaging advances and the use of imaging as an aid to clinical patient management for diseases of the brain, spine, and head and neck.
