Head/Neck Imaging

Head and neck imaging (ENT) is a recognized discipline/subspecialty of diagnostic radiology. In the purview of the ENT radiologist is the anatomy from the clavicles through the skull base. The Tower radiologists are fellowship trained in ENT radiology; some are authorities in this arena with publications that serve as a reference for radiologists nationwide.

Most head and neck imaging procedures require state-of-the-art, high resolution, cross-sectional CT and MRI scans. Tower Imaging provides the very latest, up-to-date hardware and software available. To image these detailed anatomic areas we routinely use high-resolution multi-detector CT and thin section/volume MRI.

CT and MRI studies include:
  • Cranial nerves
  • Orbits and optic pathway
  • Lacrimal system
  • Temporal bone imaging—the mastoids, middle ears/ossicles and inner ear
  • Temporomandibular joints(TMJ)
  • Paranasal sinuses
  • Salivary glands
  • Oral cavity/tongue
  • Larynx/nasopharynx
  • Thyroid gland
  • Cervical Lymph nodes

Special procedures:

  • Contrast evaluation of the lacrimal drainage system
  • Sialography
  • Intrathecal contrast study for cerebrospinal fluid leakage: for otorrhea and rhinorrhea
  • Percutaneous image-guided biopsy
