Nasal and paranasal sinus imaging.
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery has become the surgical treatment of choice in many patients with inflammatory sinus disease refractory to medical treatment. Coronal CT scanning is the imaging modality of choice as it provides initial screening, contributes to surgical planning, and provides an operative "roadmap". The authors stress that close cooperation between the radiologist and the surgeon is mandatory both for evaluation and treatment of paranasal disorders.
