I wish to take an unusual precedent to dedicate this textbook to my co-author and editor, Dr. Anil T. Ahuja, who has been my ultrasound mentor, academic colleague, and special family friend for the past several years. He has a remarkable clinical knowledge of conditions of the head and neck and is perhaps the foremost comprehensive imaging expert of this special region of human anatomy. He has understood the relevance of ultrasound to the daily interpretation and management of diseases of the thyroid and parathyroid glands and in particular its office use by endocrinologists and surgeons to the benefit of their patients. It is his unselfish interest in educating me as a head and neck surgeon that has resulted in this collaborative effort. I hope that we are able to transfer this information to others with a similar passion for ultrasound through the text and electronic access to relevant cine loops. – Robert A. Sofferman, MD, FACS
