Coronal CT scans have dramatically improved imaging of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. However, quantification of the extent of chronic sinusitis is not possible by simple reviewing of the CT images. The aim of the study was to introduce a CT scoring scale to assess the extend of sinusal pathology. Seventeen patients with clinically recognized aspirin-sensitive rhinosinusitis asthma syndrome (aspirin triad) were studied. The CT scans were reviewed and scored for extent of the disease by two independent radiologists. Repeated readings of the scans showed close correlation between the two assessments. The authors conclude, that CT scoring system for quantitation of the disease extent is reproducible and may be useful in clinical practice.
冠状位CT扫描极大地改善了鼻腔和鼻窦的成像。然而，仅通过简单查看CT图像无法对慢性鼻窦炎的范围进行量化。本研究的目的是引入一种CT评分量表来评估鼻窦病变的范围。对17例临床上确诊为阿司匹林敏感性鼻-鼻窦炎-哮喘综合征（阿司匹林三联征）的患者进行了研究。两位独立的放射科医生对CT扫描进行了评估并对疾病范围进行了评分。对扫描结果的重复读取显示，两次评估之间具有密切相关性。作者得出结论，用于量化疾病范围的CT评分系统具有可重复性，可能在临床实践中有用。
