Imaging for Otolaryngologists

Description

The Pocket Atlas of ENT Radiology is twofold:

(1) To allow residents to learn the basics of otolaryngologic imaging, and
(2) To offer a reference source that narrows the focus on the topics of immediate interest to otolaryngologist practicing in a modern clinical environment.

Content and organization:

• All aspects of otolaryngologic imaging are covered, with particular emphasis on anatomy, common diagnoses, and choice of imaging modalities.
• The Pocket Atlas of ENT Radiology is divided into four sections: petrosal bone, skull base, sinonasal complex, and neck structures.
• Each section is consistently structured (normal anatomy, frequent/common diseases, less frequent, but instructive diseases), and
• The presentation of each disease will follow a standardized layout with concise texts.
• Information on the choice of preferred imaging modality, possible differential diagnoses, and points of evaluation are included.
• 465 images in a high quality essential to reveal subtle changes.

The Pocket Atlas of ENT Radiology will help its readers:

• Evaluate the cross-sectional anatomy in rhinology, otology, and laryngology on plain films, CT scans, and MR images.
• Appreciate the contribution and limitations of plain films, CT, and MRI in the management of otolaryngologic diseases.
• Select the best imaging modality for chronic, acute, and emergency otolaryngologic conditions.
• Know what radiological appearances to look for in the diagnosis of common and less common otolaryngologic diseases.
