Chairperson's introduction
RC 711-2
15 min
Imaging of headache
1. To differentiate between main primary headache (migraine, tension-type, and cluster) and secondary headache (associated with other brain and systemic disorders) entities with common clinical presentations.
2. To describe the main imaging findings in headache using on CT, MRI, and magnetic resonance angiography.

Imaging of visual disturbance
1. To be able to follow the course of the optic nerve and visual pathway, as it extends from the globe to the visual cortex on imaging studies.
2. To describe the tailored imaging approach based on the clinical presentation of various visual field defects.
3. To recognise the characteristic location and imaging pattern of different disease processes affecting the optic nerve and visual pathway.
RC 711-4
15 min
Imaging of vertigo
1. To establish an adequate imaging protocol to cover central and peripheral causes of vertigo.
2. To learn about the most common central causes of vertigo and their anatomical and imaging substrates.
3. To learn how to recognise peripheral aetiologies of vertigo and identify "hydrops" as a separate entity in imaging assessment.
