In this presentation, we will discuss 3 topics in head and neck imaging that are frequently misunderstood: 1) sinus imaging, 2) vocal cord paralysis, and 3) lymph node assessment.

At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

•  Diagnose acute sinusitis using evidence-based clinical criteria and imaging when appropriate.
• Identify and confirm the diagnosis of vocal cord paralysis through clinical examination and imaging.
• Implement a systematic approach to lymph node assessment in the head and neck, integrating clinical and imaging findings.
