To improve the teaching effect of head and neck imaging and to further train most high quality talents majoring in head and neck imaging, some teaching experiences were summarized in this article. First, the ‘step teaching method’ was put forward for students to master the head and neck imag-ing anatomy. Second, students were taught to familiarize the imaging modalities of head and neck and to know the optimal imaging pathway and protocol of this region. Last, students were taught to develop good ideas for analyzing imaging of head and neck disease including localization diagnosis and characteri-zation diagnosis. Additionally, teaching supervision system, including taking notes, attending morning shifts, following up patients and reading literatures, was established for students.
