In this 2-hour
course is a part of the Clinical Intensive Neuro Course. Physician
speakers will give an overview of the advances in head and neck
imaging and discuss how MRI findings can be used as biomarkers for
following head and neck tumors and treatment. The use and value of
advanced imaging techniques in the region will be discussed. Four
talks will cover: |
 |
MRI of the neck: What pulse sequences to use; |
|
|
MRI in pulsitile tinnitus; |
|
