Imaging of the Head and Neck

Expanding on the 1995 first edition, the second now features organization according to anatomic regions. Authors Mahmood F. Mafee and Galdino E. Valvassori (U. of Illinois at Chicago) and Minerva Becker (Geneva University Hospital), with some help from a few contributors, have brought the work up to date so it can continue its essential service as a comprehensive reference. They've expanded chapters to address new developments and to stress the correlation of images and pathological and clinical data. New coverage is included of the temporomandicular joint, the lacrimal drainage system, dental scanning, fibro-osseous and cartilaginous lesions of the head and neck, MRI sialogrpahy, MR intervention, and thyroid and parathyroid glands. With images in the thousands (3,750), thorough explanation of difficult concepts, detailed references and a comprehensive index, this reference will serve students and physicians in all intersecting fields.
