Registration and hotel information will be here soon
This comprehensive course in head and neck imaging is intended to give radiologists an in depth exposure to head and neck anatomy, diagnoses, and important differential diagnoses.
The course is divided into a mix of didactic lectures on head and neck imaging issues, protocols, and diseases, with special sessions on vital differential diagnoses. This will be reinforced with numerous interactive case reviews covering unknown head and neck cases correlating with the didactic sessions. This time is designed to present the participant with hundreds of individual case examples of head and neck lesions. Case presentations will be within a format with each individual case initially viewed as an unknown, maximizing the faculty-participant dynamic.
This course is specifically designed for head and neck clinicians and general radiologists, as well as head and neck surgeons, and specialized head and neck neuroradiologists in both academic and non-academic environments.
This unique, intensive week long course allows an unprecedented experience for registrants to personally discuss individual cases with the authors of best selling and unmatched textbooks on head and neck imaging. Participants will also have the opportunity to bring their own unknown cases for discussion with these head and neck imaging experts.
Our goal with this conference, as with all the University of Utah Neuroradiology conferences, is to give the participants a wealth of practical knowledge that can be used immediately in their practice through the presentation and discussion of an exhaustive array of pathologies with a plethora of cases.

"This year's University of Utah Neuroradiology Head and Neck Conference was one of the best conferences I have attended. It was comprehensive and very well organized. In addition, to lectures on each important subject in Head And Neck radiology, there were many case studies that reinforced important teaching points. Since returning to my practice, I have already implemented new CT protocols for our Head and Neck cases and have recently discussed with my partners new criteria for thyroid nodule aspiration biopsy.
