You will learn how the NORMAL structures appear on images, and will build a strong foundation for recognition of the pathologies.
This course will help you to build your confidence in reading medical images of head and neck.
You will learn how to differentiate the layers of the scalp, skull bones, and intracranial structures.
I will guide you trough the bones of the skull, parts of the brain, cerebral arteries and dural sinuses.
You will boost your confidence in reading such difficult areas of the head as infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae.
You will review the organs and vessels of the neck and their normal appearance on images.
Additionally, you will review some clinical problems associated with head trauma, skull base fractures, TMJ pathology, and others.
Cannot wait to see you in the class!

Description

The head and neck regions are quite crowded with numerous organs, vessels, and nerves. This part of the anatomy is often the most challenging for students. My goal is to put all located here organs and systems together and show you the “big picture” that specialists see on the radiologic images.

In this course, I will explain to you the main anatomical structures of the head and neck regions. First, you will see how the bones, brain, vessels, and muscles look on anatomical specimens. Then, I will draw a parallel with the X-Rays, CT, and MRIs, and you will see how these structures appear on various medical images. The course includes the following sessions: 1) anatomy and radiology of the skull, 2) anatomy and radiology of the brain, 3) organs of special senses, 4) anatomy and radiology of the face, 5) anatomy and radiology of the neck. Each session begins with a review of the clinical anatomy of the region and is followed by an interpretation of radiologic images of that specific region. At the end of each session, you will have a quiz for self-assessment.

If you are planning to work in radiology, or are preparing to take a multidisciplinary exam with third and even fourth-order questions, a clear understanding of normal radiologic images is the first step, to begin with. This course will help you to build a strong anatomical foundation for future radiologic discoveries.
