The diverse assortment of structures in the neck is naturally compartmentalised by a series of fasciae. These include the larynx from the respiratory system, the upper oesophagus from the gastrointestinal system and the thyroid and parathyroid glands which are part of the endocrine system. The two most superior cervical vertebrae are highly specialised to allow an excellent range of motion at the head.Īs well as conducting structures between its surrounding areas, the neck houses a range of organs. Aside from the hyoid bone, skeletal support in the neck comes from the cervical spine. Some of these muscles are involved in positioning the head while others are responsible for manipulating the pharynx via the hyoid bone.

The phrenic nerve is crucial in its role innervating the diaphragm while other branches of the plexus provide sensation and supply the muscles of the neck. Many of the nerves in the neck arise from the cervical plexus. The region’s lymphatic system is clinically important because it can reveal signs of infection of the head and neck. This blood returns to the trunk through large jugular veins. The carotid and vertebral arteries which travel through the area carry high volumes of blood to meet the high metabolic requirements of the brain. One of the functions of the neck is to act as a conduit for nerves and vessels between the head and the trunk. Despite being a relatively small region, it contains a range of important anatomical features.

There is also the burgeoning issue of the finding of incidental lesions, ‘over-diagnosis’ and ‘overtreatment’. The inappropriate use of DI may lead, among other unwanted effects, to risks and costs without patient benefit, delay in diagnosis, and inefficient allocation of limited resources. In addition to this inappropriate and/or misuse of DI, there is an unquantifiable number of patients who should undergo imaging but do not. Sometimes imaging is performed when it is not indicated (a common example being for acute uncomplicated low back pain of short duration), or the wrong imaging modality or protocol is used for the presenting clinical scenario. In the published literature and anecdotally it is apparent that up to about 30% of imaging requests are inappropriate. The idea for DIP was conceived in Western Australia about 20 years ago in response to the perceived problem of inappropriate imaging. It has established itself as a excellent portal for clinical decision making in radiology and we are delighted to be able to make this resource available to all our recipient nations through the RAB platform as well.Ī special thank you to the founder Professor Richard Mendelson and chief editor dr Ravinder Dhillon for making this partnership a reality. Join the RAB mailing list/become a RAB member Radiology Across Borders Is delighted to be partnering with Diagnostic Imaging Pathways (DIP).ĭIP is an online suite of evidence-based and consensus-based imaging guidelines and an educational tool, developed in Western Australia with the aim guiding the appropriate choice of diagnostic imaging in clinical situations. You can keep informed and up to date with all our upcoming online lectures, one day conferences, new online educational resources and any DIP updates by joining our mailing list. We encourage you to explore all Radiology Across Borders has to offer, the projects, learning resources, webinars, conferences and educational oportunites, all free.
