Surgically relevant anatomy and variants not to miss
Philip Touska, London / United Kingdom
  1. To familiarise with the normal cross-sectional anatomy of the sinonasal area.
  2. To highlight the most surgically relevant anatomical landmarks in sinonasal imaging.
  3. To be able to alert the surgeon about critical anatomical variants that may impact surgical approach.
15 min
Patterns of sinonasal dx on CT and when to perform MRI?
Jussi Hirvonen, Turku / Finland
  1. To understand the characteristic imaging patterns of sinonasal diseases on computed tomography.
  2. To suggest evidence-based differential diagnoses of sinonasal diseases based on these radiological features.
  3. To develop a rational strategy to employ MRI in different clinical and imaging scenarios.
15 min
Staging sinonasal malignancy and surgically relevant tumour mapping
Davide Farina, Brescia / Italy
  1. To become familiar with the main themes of sinonasal primary tumour T staging.
  2. To identify the most important presurgical patterns of sinonasal disease spread and how to optimise their assessment on imaging.
  3. To understand imaging features that contraindicate pure endoscopic approaches.
