Course Description

What your colleagues liked about this Radiology CME course:

“Excellent presentation regarding the anatomy and all the relationships, which are clearly explained using the MRI images.” – Mohd Narsyafi Hassan, MD
“Outstanding series of lectures – wish I’d known of this invaluable resource much earlier in my training. It is helping me make sense retrospectively of multidisciplinary team (MDT) decisions / meetings. Truly excellent course.” – A.C., MD
“I am really happy and impressed with the way of presenting and explaining the material.” – R.a-H., MD

In this course, Dr. Sidney Levy provides an in-depth, case-based review of the anatomy, imaging protocols, and staging criteria associated with malignancies that most commonly occur within the head and neck spaces.

Dr. Levy takes a highly practical instructional approach utilizing MRI, CT, and PET images to methodically walk you through the anatomy and boundaries of the various regions of the aerodigestive system, including the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx and sinonasal cavity.

Using our DICOM viewer, review cases alongside Dr. Levy as he demonstrates his implementation of cancer staging criteria for squamous cell malignancy in these regions, the involvement of the lymph nodes, and what you need to know about perineural tumor invasion.

This course will prepare you to confidently and efficiently identify squamous cell carcinoma through case reviews of diagnoses including:

Hypopharyngeal carcinoma
Oral tongue squamous cell malignancy
Buccal mucosal squamous cell malignancy
Alveolar mucosal squamous cell malignancy
Retromolar trigone squamous cell malignancy
Hard palate squamous cell malignancy
Floor of mouth squamous cell malignancy
Postcricoid SCC
Supraglottic SCC
…and more!

Optimize your learning:

Review at your own pace – Reminder to utilize the video player features to speed up or slow down the video, pause or rewind to best fit your available time and learning needs.
Read alongside Dr. Levy – Keep the DICOM study open while you watch Dr. Levy review the cases. We suggest popping the DICOM viewer open in a new window and viewing side by side with the video on your screen.

After you’re done, check out these additional Head and Neck Mastery Courses for further in-depth case review:
