The following article details the muscular anatomy of the head and neck, including insertion, origin, action and innervation, organized by anatomic subunit and/or major action. This article also describes the spaces of the head and neck, including boundaties and contents. Finally, cervical lymph nodes are addressed according to anatomic location and lymphatic drainage.

PAS can be difficult to diagnose using routine clinical imaging with ultrasound and structural MRI.
Objective: To determine feasibility of using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis in the diagnosis of the placenta accreta spectrum disorders in pregnant women.

Diffusion imaging is a functional MR imaging tool that creates tissue contrast representative of the random, microscopic translational motion of water molecules within human body tissues. Long considered a cornerstone MR imaging sequence for brain imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) increasingly is used for head and neck imaging. This review reports the current state of diffusion techniques for head and neck imaging, including conventional DWI, DWI trace with apparent diffusion coefficient map, diffusion tensor imaging, intravoxel incoherent motion, and diffusion kurtosis imaging.
