The CT examination in the coronal plane is the optimal imaging modality to evaluate the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses, especially for evaluating chronic inflammatory disease. This modality affords optimal display of the osteomeatal channels and best defines the extent of mucoperiosteal disease. Updated parameters for scanning afford a significant reduction of radiation. MR imaging supersedes CT in its ability to distinguish between inflammatory and neoplastic pathology and appears to be the optimal imaging modality for diagnosis of fungal sinusitis.
冠状面CT检查是评估鼻腔和鼻窦的最佳成像方式，尤其适用于评估慢性炎症性疾病。这种方式能最佳地显示骨窦道，并能很好地界定黏膜骨膜疾病的范围。更新后的扫描参数可显著减少辐射。在区分炎症性和肿瘤性病变方面，磁共振成像（MR）优于CT，似乎是诊断真菌性鼻窦炎的最佳成像方式。
