Abstract:
CT and MRI are the two most widely used imaging modalities for evaluating head and neck pathology. There is continued controversy in the literature about which modality is superior for imaging different areas of the head and neck. This article summarizes the literature supporting the use of CT, MRI, or both for specific clinical scenarios in otolaryngology. Familiarity with the benefits and potential pitfalls of each modality allows referring physicians and radiologists to tailor imaging regimens to the needs of individual patients.

First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...
