โฆ Synopsis
Ever since Caldwel.1'~ initial experiments on the radiologic appearance of paranasal sinus abnormalities, there has been increasing interest in head and neck radiology. Many reports have been presented in the general literature dealing with radiology, but there has been no single forum devoted to head and neck radiology. In addition, many radiologic residencies have been deficient in offering training in head and neck radiology. Furthermore, thin-section pleurodirectional tomography has revolutionized the study of temporal bone anatomy and disease. Because this technique of study was developed after many radiologists were in practice, a demand for training courses grew.
