Imaging of frontal sinus disease: concepts, interpretation, and technology

Otolaryngol Clin North Am. 2001 Feb;34(1):23-39. doi: 10.1016/s0030-6665(05)70292-9.

Abstract

Imaging of the frontal sinus is an integral part of patient evaluation. High-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging is the preferred modality for evaluation of sinus inflammatory disease. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays an important role in differentiating tumors from inflammatory diseases and serves as a problem-solving tool.
