Course description:
The discussion will examine a career in OMF Radiology spanning both dentistry and medicine with a practice setting encompassing both academic institutions and a large multi-hospital health system. The discussion will highlight navigating within and forming collaborations with specialties in Dentistry, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, and Oncology and the educational foundations important for establishing and maintaining these cross-disciplinary collaborations. The role of research in informing and driving clinical practice and the need for active education across the span of a career will be emphasized as a means towards establishing a rewarding and exciting career in OMF Radiology.

Objectives of course:
The objectives of this course will be to explore different career path options for an OMR and the role of collaboration with other dental and medical specialties. The course will discuss the foundational knowledge needed to be successful in an academic and hospital setting and the importance of lifelong learning, research and teaching skills in becoming a successful radiologist.

At the end of this course the participant will . . .

• Recognize different career path options for an OMR
• Understand the role of collaboration with other specialties
• Be familiar with the foundational knowledge needed to be successful
• Recognize the role of lifelong learning, research and teaching skills in becoming a successful radiologist.

Course description:

In this talk the speaker will discuss briefly the basic principles of nuclear medicine. Different scanner types such as gamma camera, positron emission tomography (PET) combined with computed tomography (CT), single-photon emission
computerized tomography (SPECT) and PET-MRI will be discussed. Commonly used radiopharmaceuticals relevant to maxillofacial region will be discussed with the help of case examples of normal scans, and abnormal scan of benign and
malignant pathologies.

Objectives of course:

1. Discuss the basic concept of Nuclear Medicine relevant to the Oral & Maxillofacial region.
2. Discuss various relevant scans and radiopharmaceuticals with the help of case examples.
3. Discuss expected findings and various pathologies on different nuclear scans with the help of case examples

At the end of this course the participant will . . .

1. Able to identify various nuclear medicine scans and radiopharmaceuticals used in pathologies of Maxillofacial region.
2. Differentiate between the normal and abnormal scans.

Course Description:

Through illustrative cases, common and uncommon findings seen on cross sectional CT and MR imaging performed in the emergency room setting of odontogenic origin will be reviewed. These will include sequelae of infection, trauma, and neoplasms. Potential pitfalls and mimics will also be reviewed. When appropriate, recommendations for further imaging or clinical management will also be discussed.

Objectives of course:

1. Understand common patterns of injury to the teeth, mandible and maxilla in the setting of acute trauma as seen on CT.
2. Recognize signs of dental infection on cross sectional imaging and the imaging appearance of complications of local infection.
3. Contrast the typical appearance of infection versus neoplasm in the region of the oral cavity.

At the end of this course the participant . . .

Will understand the value as well as the limitations of cross sectional imaging findings in and around the oral cavity in the emergent setting.

Course Description:

• This course will review the normal anatomy of the suprahyoid neck, focusing on the parapharyngeal, masticator, and parotid spaces. Anatomy of the perivertebral and retropharyngeal spaces and an overview of the infrahyoid head & neck spaces will be discussed.
• The course will present an approach to generating differential diagnosis considerations based on the head & neck space(s) and pertinent anatomy involved, complemented by cross-sectional imaging features.

Objectives of course:

• Recognize normal supra- and infrahyoid head & neck spatial anatomy on cross-section imaging studies.
• Provide a strategy for generating differential diagnoses based on anatomy and cross-sectional imaging features.
• Demonstrate common and uncommon pathology affecting the major head & neck spaces using case examples.

At the end of this course the participant . . .

• Will be able to recognize normal supra- and infrahyoid head & neck anatomy on cross sectional radiology studies.
• Will be able to generate an appropriate differential diagnosis based on anatomy and imaging features for lesions of the major supra- and infrahyoid head & neck spaces.
