Presentation

Black Box

Synopsis: In the head and neck, the choice of cross-sectional imaging study can be complicated. There are situations where CT is clearly the imaging modality of choice and situations where MR is clearly the imaging modality of choice. There are also instances where the exams are complementary. I will discuss what the literature supports in modality choice and also show examples of the strengths and weaknesses of each technique.

This agenda item is presented in the following session: S4-1 Head and Neck Radiology
