DEN1097 is a hybrid, clinically focused, case-based course that will cover advanced image interpretation of the head and neck using various imaging modalities. The course will cover basic radiology principles, such as radiation physics, biology, and protection, and emphasize learning and interpreting imaging features of pathologies of the jaws, head, and neck.

This course will be centered on case-based, clinical rounds (facilitated by neuroradiology, oral and maxillofacial radiology (OMFR), and oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS)) and supported by planned lessons to supplement the didactic material (by OMFR and OMFS).

The purpose of this course is to offer instruction in specialized topics that are not part of regular graduate courses. It consists of assigned readings that are discussed in weekly meetings with the course director. Interested students should approach the graduate staff member whom they would like to direct their reading course. Staff members who agree to direct a course should submit a course outline that includes a list of papers to be discussed and the grading method to be used, to the Associate Dean, Graduate Education. The reading course must conform to regulations established by the Department and the School of Graduate Studies (Available in the Student Services Office). The Faculty will normally only consider one reading course to complete your degree requirements. In exceptional circumstances this requirement may be waived.
