2024 Practical Head & Neck Imaging: Mimics and Case-based Review – A Video CME Teaching Activity

• The purpose of this CME teaching activity is to review fundamentals of head & neck imaging, as well as some advanced topics of increasing importance in clinical practice. Faculty will focus on anatomy, inflammation and neoplasia of the suprahyoid and infrahyoid neck and aerodigestive tract, and will additionally cover topics in orbital and skull base imaging. Each lecture will highlight imaging techniques, normal anatomy and common pathology with an emphasis on how the imaging findings directly affect patient management. Frequently missed diagnoses and strategies for error avoidance will be covered, as well. Case based review sessions have been added to enforce didactic material.

At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:

• Identify normal anatomy and common pathology of the suprahyoid and infrahyoid neck.
• Appreciate the relevant findings in both pre- and post-operative imaging of upper aerodigestive tract malignancies.
• Recognize types and imaging characteristics of infectious and neoplastic processes of the head and neck.
• Differentiate tumor from mimic.
