We review anatomy of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine. Knowledge of normal anatomy is vital when reviewing imaging of the spine because it allows for the detection of abnormal findings. We emphasize the normal appearance of the thoracic and lumbosacral spine on imaging, focusing on the most common imaging techniques of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as highlighting a few less common and emerging imaging techniques that can evaluate the spine.

It is imperative for all imaging specialists to be familiar with detailed multiplanar computed tomography imaging anatomy of the paranasal sinuses and adjacent structures. This article reviews, in brief, the radiologically relevant embryology of the sinonasal region and discusses the imaging anatomy of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Radiologists should understand the importance and clinical implications of identifying the numerous anatomic variations encountered in this region and prepare a structured report that provides a surgical road map to the referring clinician.

The larynx serves as the gateway between the upper and lower respiratory tracts and is involved in the tasks of phonation, deglutition, and airway protection. Familiarity with the complex anatomy of the larynx is critical for detecting and characterizing disease in the region, especially in cancer staging. In this article, we review the anatomy of the larynx and cervical trachea, including an overview of their cartilages, supporting tissues, muscles, mucosal spaces, neurovascular supply, and lymphatics, followed by correlation to the clinically relevant anatomic sites of the larynx. Imaging techniques for evaluating the larynx and trachea will also be discussed briefly.

ReviewAnatomy of the Mandible, Temporomandibular Joint, and Dentition.
Oral behavior encompasses active movement of the oral structures. The range and quality of oral behavior is essential for establishing and maintaining health and well-being. ⋯ Key hard tissue elements involved in oral behavior include the mandible, temporomandibular joints, and dentition. This article will discuss the anatomy and interaction of the hard tissue elements and selected soft tissue elements associated with oral behavior.

In this article, we discuss the anatomy and development of the face. One should become familiar with the layers, muscles, vessels, and nerves of the face. Embryologic development of the face and supporting structures is also discussed. Additionally, different clinical manifestation of facial paralysis is highlighted.
