The last realization for authors is that the most daunting part of the task is to boil down all of the disorders and details to a set of requisites. For this reason, the majority of the discussion and examples in this chapter are based on these modalities and latest techniques. In this new millennium, the radiologist must maintain a rapid pace to review thousands of cross-sectional CT and magnetic resonance (MR) images with two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) reformats during a typical shift. This work was interrupted by an occasional computed tomography (CT) scan. It was not that many years ago that the radiologist was faced with a seemingly never-ending stack of plain films from the ED, inpatient wards, and intensive care units in need of rapid interpretations.

On-call radiologists (often residents or fellows) are expected to provide wet readings or complete interpretations for complex cases covering the full spectrum of medicine, pediatrics, surgery, and related subspecialties. On admission, inpatient workups now occur on a 24/7 basis with many complex exams completed during the night shift. But realize that a wide variety of processes will result in an alteration in mental status leading to an ED visit with imaging playing a key role in diagnosis and appropriate management. Others such as oligodendroglioma, perhaps a slowly growing lesion, might seem less clear-cut.
Certain diagnoses like stroke, fractures, and epiglottitis are musts. However, when put to the task, it soon becomes clear that almost every disorder within the realm of neuroradiology/head and neck radiology might at one time or another present as an acute emergency. At first, this challenge seems straightforward enough. Nadgir, Osamu SakaiĬreate a list of the disorders of the brain, head, and neck that might commonly be expected to present to an emergency department (ED) and describe the typical imaging features.
