Diagnostic value of HRCT and 3DCT in the assessment of chronic maxillary sinusitis.

In a group of 37 patients with chronic maxillary sinusitis in whom CT examination had been performed diagnostic value of secondary spatial reconstructions and high-resolution sections was analysed. It was found that the supplementation of standard CT examination with high-resolution sections and spatial pictures increases diagnostic possibilities in the assessment of maxillary sinusitis as for recognising, differentiating and determining anatomical etiologic factors.
