Abstract
Diagnostic imaging tests play an increasingly important role in diagnosing a difficult airway. The variety of tests and their relatively easy availability provide anaesthesiologists with valuable information regarding the challenge of potential difficulty in managing airways. In this chapter, the radiological parameters proven most useful in the various imaging techniques commonly employed in clinical practice will be reviewed: conventional radiology, computed tomography, and ultrasonography.
