Research
Focus
- My research efforts have focussed on clinical issues in head and neck imaging. I have written original papers describing the post-operative appearance of the paranasal sinuses, reconstructed neck and neck following neck dissection. The post-operative neck on CT and MR imaging is difficult to interpret, and little has been written about the post-treatment changes. My research in this area has involved clinical series with operative and pathologic confirmation.
