CT of the brain, head and neck:
Is there anything new?
Moderator: R.L. Vanninen; Kuopio/FI
A-394 16:00
A. Acute and chronic ischemia: Combining CT with CTP
P.M. Parizel, R. Salgado, J.W. Van Goethem, L. van den Hauwe; Antwerp/BE
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the impact of multidetector CT on imaging strategy in acute and chronic cerebral ischemia.
2. To discuss the optimal techniques for MDCT of the brain, with emphasis on CT perfusion and CT
angiography.
3. To present typical MDCT imaging fi ndings in acute and chronic ischemia.
4. To critically evaluate advantages and disadvantages of MDCT as compared to other imaging modalities.
A-395 16:30
B. Aneurysms and AVMs: When is CT enough?
M.M. Thurnher; Vienna/AT
Learning Objectives:
1. To learn about the current role and diagnostic accuracy of CT and CT angiography (CTA) in evaluating
intracranial aneurysms and AVMs.
2. To discuss possible fi elds in which CTA might replace invasive DSA and even compete with MRI
techniques in detecting aneurysms and AVMs.
3. To describe imaging protocol and strategy of using CT and CTA as the primary imaging method in
aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
A-396 17:00
C. Head and neck lesions: A new role for CT?
M. Annertz; Lund/SE
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand role of MDCT-imaging for lesion detection and characterisation in the oncologic population
and in patients with other diseases.
2. To describe guidelines for rational radiologic whole body investigation of patients with head and neck cancer,
using MCDT, MRI, ultrasound and PET-CT.
3. To describe optimal techniques for head and neck MDCT.
4. To review typical imaging fi ndings.
