Normal Vascular Structures and Variants on Head and Neck Imaging
The vasculature of the neck, comprised of arteries and veins, provides for the supply and return of blood to and from the brain, and to structures of the neck and face. Knowledge of normal appearance and anatomy, and anatomic variants, may help one distinguish between normal and pathologic processes in the neck, which may affect diagnosis or choice of surgical approach. Other related structures that are important to recognize include the thoracic duct and carotid body. In this article examples of mostly computed tomography and MR imaging of normal anatomy and some of these variants are shown. (Source: Neuroimaging Clinics)

Mimics, Pearls, and Pitfalls of Head and Neck Imaging
Head and neck radiology can be very complex and challenging! Many factors can compromise the successful acquisition and interpretation of head and neck imaging studies. These can be related to the type of imaging modality, anatomical variants, the nature of certain lesions, and factors related to interpreter abilities. (Source: Neuroimaging Clinics)

Mimics, Pearls, and Pitfalls of Head and Neck Imaging
Years ago, I learned a couple of “tricks” that helped me interpret cross-section imaging of the head and neck. First, …“draw a line down the middle”… (which was easy when we had “films” and grease pencils!) and compare one side to the other. The head and neck are not completely symmetrical, but looking for large asy mmetries helps us identify suspicious areas. The next step was to determine whether that suspicious area was abnormal or whether it represents a normal variation. I still use this approach today and have always appreciated the need to understand normal variation to avoid both “undercalling” ...

Postoperative Computed Tomography for Facial Fractures
This article is intended to promote efficient and salient reporting by illustrating surgical approaches and rationale. Hardware selection can be inferred and a defined set of potential complications anticipated when assessing the adequacy of surgical reconstruction on postoperative computed tomography for midface, internal orbital, and mandible fractures.

Imaging of the Postoperative Temporal Bone
This article provides an understanding of common postsurgical changes of the temporal bone and their typical imaging appearances. Ultimately, greater radiologist knowledge of postoperative temporal bone imaging findings will help to serve patients and referring clinicians with prompt diagnosis and recognition of expected postintervention changes compared with postoperative complications and/or disease recurrence.

Imaging of the Postoperative Eye and Orbit
There is a plethora of surgical procedures that are performed in the eye and orbit. The consequences of these procedures can often be observed on diagnostic imaging through the presence of various implants and altered anatomy. The expected postoperative changes in the eye and orbit, the impact of implants on image quality and safety, and potential associated complications are reviewed in this article. Conventional computed tomography and MR imaging scans are useful for the postoperative assessment of the eye and orbit. The computed tomography and MR imaging findings related to the postoperative eye and orbit are reviewed i...

Imaging After Sinonasal Surgery
Posttreatment imaging evaluation of sinuses encompasses a wide gamut of procedures, ranging from endoscopic procedures for sinonasal inflammatory diseases to markedly radical surgeries for malignant neoplasms (with or without reconstructions), as well as providing access for surgeries involving the anterior and central skull base. Advances in both techniques and devices have expanded the use of endoscopic approaches in managing both benign and malignant lesions, in addition to being the primary surgical method for treating all medically refractive sinonasal inflammatory disorders. Familiarity with the complex anatomy in th...
