ICISI Masterclass In Head & Neck Cancer Imaging
Price: Free
This Masterclass in Head & Neck Cancer Imaging will be delivered online, over two half-days, as a workstation-based teaching course, highlighting the range of tumoural lesions occurring in this complex body region. The relative value of different imaging modalities will be addressed, with examples of atypical appearing lesions demonstrated alongside more typical imaging patterns seen in different subsites.
Overview
This Masterclass in Head & Neck Cancer Imaging will be delivered online, over two half-days, as a workstation-based teaching course, highlighting the range of tumoural lesions occurring in this complex body region. The relative value of different imaging modalities will be addressed, with examples of atypical appearing lesions demonstrated alongside more typical imaging patterns seen in different subsites.
Attention will be paid to pertinent findings that may change patient management, and the role of imaging in patient surveillance after treatment of head and neck cancer will be reviewed. Our expert faculty have extensive clinical knowledge and experience, and delegates will benefit from mentored case-based learning enhanced by direct access to individually review between 35-40 brand new cases, each chosen to illustrate specific learning points. The detailed workbook summarising all the cases, delivered directly to you for use during the course, will provide a valuable resource of information relating to imaging in this complex body region.
Participants must have access to two screens for the duration of the course. As this is an interactive course, limited to 24 participants, we ask that you join using a device with a camera to achieve the optimum experience. Please refer to the joining instructions for full details of screen requirements.
Learning Objectives
- To discuss the patterns of spread of primary head and neck tumours on imaging studies
- To illustrate some diseases potentially mimicking the appearance of a primary head and neck neoplasm
- To discuss the value of post-treatment imaging in distinguishing expected findings, treatment complications and tumour recurrence
- To discuss the imaging findings in salivary and thyroid gland disease

He was appointed staff member in the Department of Radiology at the same institution in 1992. His main interest is head and neck radiology. In 1997, he spent a visiting fellowship in the Department of Radiology at Shands Teaching Hospital in Gainesville (University of Florida). In 1998, he obtained the degree of doctor in medical sciences (PhD) at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, with a thesis on laryngeal cancer imaging. He was appointed Assistant Professor in 1998, and Associate Professor in 2000, in the faculty of Medicine of the same university. In 2004, he was promoted to Professor. He has authored or co-authored over 150 published articles on head and neck imaging, and imaging of the tumoral micro environment, as well as several book chapters. Professor Hermans edited Imaging of the Larynx and Head and Neck Cancer Imaging, both books published by Springer, Squamous Cell Cancer of the Neck, published by Cambridge University Press, and is associate editor of the Encyclopedia of Medical Imaging, published by NICER.
