Maatman, G

The purpose of this textbook is two-fold: to define the normal anatomic structure and pathologic conditions of the nose, paranasal sinuses, pharynx and soft tissues, and to discuss the diagnostic impact and ultimate-effect of computed tomography (CT) in the treatment of patients with head and neck disorders. The two chapters on normal gross and CT anatomic configuration are meticulously constructed. The subsequent sections on pathologic conditions are illustrated with examples of neoplastic disease. The CT scans are very good; a few of these were obtained in the direct sagittal plane. There is considerable discussion of the reasons that CT is equal to better than, or worse than other imaging modalities with respect to patient treatment in terms of both diagnosis and therapy.
