William B. Armstrong, MD is a Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine. His academic career focuses on advanced imaging techniques for head and neck pathology. Dr. Armstrong's research primarily centers on the development and application of computed tomography virtual endoscopy (CTVE) for evaluating head and neck tumors. His work has contributed significantly to understanding how this imaging modality can complement traditional endoscopic approaches in diagnosing aerodigestive tract malignancies. His research demonstrates particular expertise in subglottic and nasopharyngeal anatomy visualization using CTVE technology. His seminal work on CTVE for head and neck tumors has been widely cited in subsequent research, with applications extending to laryngeal tumor detection, virtual laryngoscopy, and more recently, machine learning-enabled virtual reality tools for surgical planning. The research shows how CTVE provides valuable surface-contour details despite limitations in situations with tissue fold apposition. As a clinical professor in otolaryngology, Dr. Armstrong bridges advanced imaging technology with practical clinical applications in head and neck cancer diagnosis and treatment planning.
