Written and edited by acknowledged masters in the field, this two-volume full-color text is the most comprehensive and current reference on head and neck radiology. It features more than 10,000 images and covers every disorder in every region of the head and neck.

The first two sections cover applied imaging fundamentals and general pathology, pathophysiology, patterns of disease, and natural history of head and neck disorders correlated with imaging appearance. Subsequent sections focus on specific anatomic regions: the eye, orbit, visual pathways, and cranial nerves III, IV, and VI; sinonasal and craniofacial region including cranial nerve V; temporal bone, posterior skull base, posterior fossa, and cranial nerves VII-XII; infrahyoid neck and cervico-thoracic junction (thoracic inlet); thyroid and parathyroid glands; major salivary glands; nasopharynx; oropharynx; oral cavity and floor of the mouth; larynx, hypopharynx, and cervical esophagus; trachea; hypopharynx; and cervical esophagus. The text covers all current imaging modalities, including plain film, MRI, CT, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine including PET.

A companion website will offer the fully searchable text and images. The first two sections will be online only.

“The book is well organized and comprehensive, as well as clear and succinct…. , the authors provide relevant and useful information on topics such as technical aspects, controversies, medical decision making, and posttreatment imaging findings, including end-of-chapter summaries.  High quality images and diagrams are used throughout and are accompanied by relevant descriptive legends.”

“The book is aesthetically pleasing and is easy both to read and to browse, with a user-friendly electronic interface.  All in all, this comprehensive, up-to-date, and informative book fully meets the authors’ intended goals and will act as an excellent reference source for all radiologists involved in head and neck imaging, including trainees.”
