What you'll learn

This course is a basic prerequisite for radiology learners. It explains the appearance of structures of the head and neck on X-Ray, CT, and MRI images.
You will learn how the NORMAL structures appear on images, and will build a strong foundation for recognition of the pathologies.
This course will help you to build your confidence in reading medical images of head and neck.
You will learn how to differentiate the layers of the scalp, skull bones, and intracranial structures.
I will guide you trough the bones of the skull, parts of the brain, cerebral arteries and dural sinuses.
You will boost your confidence in reading such difficult areas of the head as infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae.
You will review the organs and vessels of the neck and their normal appearance on images.
Additionally, you will review some clinical problems associated with head trauma, skull base fractures, TMJ pathology, and others.
Cannot wait to see you in the class!

Introduction3:07

Skull overview and viscerocranium9:16
Explore the skull's viscerocranium and facial skeleton, including the orbit, nasal cavity, maxilla, zygomatic, and mandible, plus supraorbital, infraorbital, and mental foramina. Review cranial cavity structures and facial fracture classifications.
Viscerocranium
The neurocranium13:38
Calvaria
Calvaria trauma14:24
Hematomas
Skull base8:54
Skull base
Skull base trauma3:59
Analyze skull base trauma, focusing on anterior cranial fossa fractures near the frontal crest and potential cerebrospinal fluid leaks from dural tears.
Skull base trauma
X-Ray of the skull5:28
Analyze an anteroposterior skull x-ray to identify coronal sutures, frontal sinus, optic nerve in the orbit, and mastoid processes, and distinguish fracture lines by typical localization.
Radiologic anatomy of the skull

Anatomy of the brain10:26
DEMO of the brain7:58
The brain
Introduction to Radiologic Anatomy5:26
CT and MRI of the brain and ventricles6:19
Explore CT and MRI of the brain and ventricles, identifying the cerebral hemispheres, corpus callosum, thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and the ventricular system from lateral to fourth ventricle.
Angiography: cerebral vessels4:25
Venography: dural sinuses3:08
Radiologic anatomy of intracranial structures

Anatomy of the nasal region6:10
Explore the anatomy of the nasal region, including the nasal cavity, vestibule, and conchae, and learn how sinus drainage prevents infection and how sinusitis develops.
Paranasal sinuses2:43
Nasal cavity
Anatomy of the TMJ6:56
Explore the temporomandibular joint anatomy, including the articular disc and superior and inferior compartments enabling gliding and hinge movements like protrusion, retraction, elevation, and depression.
Anatomy of the muscles of mustication6:43
Radiologic anatomy of the infratemporal fossa6:01
Pterygopalatine fossa1:40
Deep region of the face
Anatomy of the oral region4:27
Explore the anatomy of the oral region, including the oral vestibule, oral cavity proper, teeth, gums, mucous lining, and major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual) and their ducts.
Glands of the head and neck on images1:54
Identify the major head and neck glands on images, including the salivary glands and the sublingual glands near the oral cavity, and the thyroid with its two lobes.
Radiologic anatomy of glands

Requirements

Appropriate for beginners and anatomy learners who need tutoring in learning of the head and neck regions and would like to apply their knowledge to radiologic practice.
For radiology fellows and related specialists who would like to review the anatomy of the head and neck in radiological settings.
For USLME takers who would like to ice the head and neck imaging.

Description

The head and neck regions are quite crowded with numerous organs, vessels, and nerves. This part of the anatomy is often the most challenging for students. My goal is to put all located here organs and systems together and show you the “big picture” that specialists see on the radiologic images.

In this course, I will explain to you the main anatomical structures of the head and neck regions. First, you will see how the bones, brain, vessels, and muscles look on anatomical specimens. Then, I will draw a parallel with the X-Rays, CT, and MRIs, and you will see how these structures appear on various medical images. The course includes the following sessions: 1) anatomy and radiology of the skull, 2) anatomy and radiology of the brain, 3) organs of special senses, 4) anatomy and radiology of the face, 5) anatomy and radiology of the neck. Each session begins with a review of the clinical anatomy of the region and is followed by an interpretation of radiologic images of that specific region. At the end of each session, you will have a quiz for self-assessment.

If you are planning to work in radiology, or are preparing to take a multidisciplinary exam with third and even fourth-order questions, a clear understanding of normal radiologic images is the first step, to begin with. This course will help you to build a strong anatomical foundation for future radiologic discoveries.
