Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surgeon-performed head and neck ultrasounds are increasingly used in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery to ensure fast diagnostic work-up and perform ultrasound-guided interventions. Ultrasound has, therefore, expanded both to office-based and surgical settings to improve surgical care. Furthermore, minimally invasive treatments, e.g., radiofrequency ablation and ethanol injections of thyroid cysts, are increasingly used instead of surgery. This Special Issue will cover new uses and advancements in diagnostic head and neck ultrasound and ultrasound-guided interventions in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. The Special Issue will also cover all aspects from new ultrasound scanning techniques/areas, use of advanced ultrasound technologies (contrast-enhanced ultrasound, elastography, 3D ultrasound, super-resolution imaging, etc.), and ultrasound-guided minimally invasive treatments.
