title: [Ultrahigh-frequency radiometry and endoscopy in the diagnosis of maxillary diseases].
abstract: The potential of SHF-radiometry was investigated in the diagnosis of maxillary inflammation. Altogether 90 patients and 30 controls underwent routine infrared thermography and SHF-radiometry. Normal thermal distribution in the maxillary sinuses was featured by its picture in normal subjects. SHF-radiometry proved more informative in bilateral localization of the inflammation foci, in sluggish processes in the maxillary sinuses, allowed more significant follow-up of the thermogenic activity of the maxillary deep tissues. SHF-radiometry findings were verified at maxillary endoscopy. The results correlated in 77.9% of the cases. The method can be introduced to make early diagnosis of maxillary inflammation, in mass health check-ups.
