title: Sinonasal imaging.
abstract: Recent changes in sinonasal imaging are a direct result of the development of functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Because of this technique, radiologists have noted an increased volume of sinus imaging, developed new imaging techniques, and are interpreting films in a different manner. This article covers the common variants seen on coronal computed tomography, discusses the complications of functional endoscopic sinus surgery, reviews the radiographic criteria for sinusitis, and addresses the role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating the sinonasal cavity.
