Pameijer; Utrecht/NLLearning Objectives:1. To understand the variations of normal anatomy in the neck thatshould not be interpreted as abnormal.2. To become familiar with the incidental findings that are frequentlyencountered when searching for neck disease.3. To recognise suboptimal neck studies, or technique related problemsand understand how these may influence interpretation.11:15A-118 B. Pitfalls in maxillofacial and skull base imagingR. Hermans; Leuven/BELearning Objectives:1. To understand the basic requirements for an optimal imaging studyof the skull base and maxillofacial region.2.
