ExpertDDX: Head and Neck

Now fully revised and up-to-date, Expert DDx: Head and Neck, 2nd edition, quickly guides you to the most likely differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical information. Expert radiologists Bernadette L. Koch, MD and Bronwyn E. Hamilton, MD present more than 160 cases across a broad spectrum of head and neck diseases, classified by specific anatomic locations, generic imaging findings, modality-specific findings, and clinically based indications. Readers will find authoritative, superbly illustrated guidance for defining and reporting useful, actionable differential diagnoses that lead to definitive findings in every area of the head and neck.
