Head and Neck radiology is a subspecialty of radiology that comprises diagnostic imaging and procedures performed by means of all cross-sectional techniques and conventional radiography of conditions involving all the anatomical structures in this region excluding the central nervous system, i.e., the brain and spinal cord and their associated vascular structures and encasing membranes. Multidisciplinary meetings involving the radiology and ENT departments, steered by the residents and facilitated by faculty, are held every week where challenging cases and patient management are discussed.
