How to approach a CT neck on-call

Thursday 17 June 2021, 19:00-20:00 (BST)
Led by: Dr Elizabeth Loney, Associate Medical Director and Consultant Radiologist, Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS FT.

Neck imaging is often considered to be a challenging area for Radiologists. The anatomy is complex, some pathologies are site specific and access to specialist training may be limited. This presentation will start by looking at anatomical neck spaces and then concentrate on pathologies trainees might encounter on-call, excluding facial trauma which has been covered in another presentation. A case- base approach will be used to encourage audience participation.

Learning objectives:

1. Understand the principles of compartmental neck space anatomy
2. Understand when it is appropriate to image the neck on-call and how to protocol a CT neck
3. Recognise commonly encountered pathologies on call
4. Learn how to produce a useful, structured report
