During
the course of 1996 it became apparent to a number
of radiologists with a particular interest in the
head and neck that this was one of the few areas where
a special interest group did not exist. A preliminary
one day scientific meeting covering key head and neck
imaging topics was convened in the RSM in the summer
of 1997. During the course of the meeting the idea
of founding a head and neck imaging society was discussed.
The following year the meeting was repeated with a
view to officially founding the the British Head and
Neck Imaging Society (BSHNI). This took place on 9th
July 1998 and over sixty delegates attended. At the
first annual general meeting the name of the society
was agreed and the constitution accepted.
Since
then the society has organised an annual general meeting
which aims to cover key topics and new developments
in head and neck imaging. It also functions as a forum
to discuss interesting and difficult cases and as
an organisation to advise the Royal College of Radiologists
and other organisations on subjects related to Head
and Neck Imaging. The annual meeting became a two
day meeting in 2005.
