The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of panoramic radiography in identification of maxillary sinus septa. Out of 68 sinuses were radiographically examined using both panoramic and computerized tomographic radiographs (CT scan). Using CT scan, 24 (35.9%) out of 68 cases maxillae showed at least one septum, 22 sinuses (32.3%) showed one septum, whereas two sinuses (2.9%) exhibited two septa. Panoramic radiograph led to a false diagnosis regarding the presence or absence of sinus septa in 18 of 68 sinuses (26.5%). On the other hand, they gave negative diagnosis of sinus septa in 12 of 24 septa (50%). There was fully agreement between the two methods (positive septa) only in 12 of 24 septa (50%). We cannot depend on panoramic radiograph for the detection of sinus septa because it can lead to false or negative results.
本研究的目的是确定全景X线摄影在识别上颌窦隔方面的准确性。对68个鼻窦进行了全景X线摄影和计算机断层扫描（CT扫描）检查。使用CT扫描，68例上颌骨中有24例（35.9%）显示至少一个隔，22个鼻窦（32.3%）显示一个隔，而两个鼻窦（2.9%）有两个隔。全景X线摄影在68个鼻窦中的18个（26.5%）对鼻窦隔的存在与否导致了误诊。另一方面，在24个隔中的12个（50%）中，全景X线摄影给出了鼻窦隔的阴性诊断。两种方法（阳性隔）仅在24个隔中的12个（50%）中完全一致。我们不能依赖全景X线摄影来检测鼻窦隔，因为它可能导致错误或阴性结果。
