Radiologic anatomy of the paranasal air sinuses.
Over the last decade, significant strides have been made in the imaging-guided management of sinonasal inflammation. We are now able to achieve an enhanced level of understanding of the complex functional and surgical anatomy of this region. This facilitates meaningful communication with the surgeons who consult with us. Sectional imaging using both CT and MR is applied well to sinonasal imaging, but anatomic CT landmarks are emphasized in this article with its connection to minimally invasive sinus surgery. Our ongoing research efforts target dynamic functional anatomy with advanced postprocessing techniques.
