Fifty-five consecutive patients had ultrasonic examination and routine radiology of the maxillary sinus prior to proof puncture. One hundred and eight antra were washed out and a positive aspiration was obtained in 20% (22). A clear return correlated with a normal radiograph and ultrasound in 91% and 85% of sides respectively. Radiographic results gave a 9% false negative result whereas 15% of normal ultrasounds had a return on proof puncture. Abnormal radiographic appearances and ultrasound traces were correlated with a positive return in 28% and 27% of punctures, respectively. It is concluded that ultrasound adds little further information and does not improve upon radiology in predicting the presence of fluid within the maxillary antrum.
55例连续患者在进行上颌窦穿刺活检前接受了上颌窦超声检查和常规放射学检查。共冲洗了108个窦腔，其中20%（22个）穿刺抽吸结果为阳性。分别有91%和85%的窦腔冲洗液清亮与放射学检查及超声检查结果正常相关。放射学检查结果有9%的假阴性，而15%超声检查正常的窦腔穿刺抽吸有液体回流。异常的放射学表现和超声影像分别与28%和27%的穿刺阳性回流相关。得出的结论是，超声在预测上颌窦内有无液体方面几乎没有提供更多信息，也未比放射学检查有改进。
