ENT Diagnostics and Therapeutics

ENT Imaging and Diagnostic Tools

Accurate diagnosis is key to effective ENT treatment. This track will focus on the latest advancements in imaging technologies and diagnostic methods in otolaryngology. Topics will include CT and MRI applications, ultrasound in ENT, narrow-band imaging (NBI), stroboscopy, otoacoustic emissions testing, and optical coherence tomography (OCT).Case-based discussions will help attendees understand how imaging guides treatment planning and outcomes in ENT diseases. This track is critical for radiologists, ENT clinicians, and diagnostic technologists aiming to adopt evidence-based diagnostic practices.The track will also cover innovations in functional imaging, such as PET-CT in head and neck oncology, diffusion-weighted imaging for skull base tumors, and advanced 3D reconstruction techniques for surgical navigation. Hands-on workshops and expert-led sessions will demonstrate real-time interpretation of ENT scans and the integration of AI algorithms for early disease detection. Additionally, emerging applications of handheld point-of-care ultrasound devices and dynamic imaging in swallowing and voice assessments will be explored. Attendees will gain practical knowledge on selecting appropriate diagnostic tools based on clinical presentation, improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing unnecessary procedures, and enhancing patient-centered care in both adult and pediatric ENT populations.
