Computed tomography (CT) has added an important new dimension to the radiological evaluation of diseases of the paranasal sinuses and face. Using transverse and coronal scans, accurate assessment of the character and extent of mass lesions in this region can be achieved. Erosion of thin bony lamine and involvement of soft tissue structures of the face can be seen. Most important, CT is capable of precisely defining the extension of lesions into the pterygopalatine fossa, orbit, and cranial cavity, information that is essential for therapeutic planning.
计算机断层扫描（CT）为鼻窦和面部疾病的放射学评估增添了一个重要的新维度。通过横断面和冠状面扫描，可以对该区域肿块病变的特征和范围进行准确评估。可以看到薄骨板的侵蚀以及面部软组织结构的受累情况。最重要的是，CT能够精确确定病变向翼腭窝、眼眶和颅腔的扩展情况，而这些信息对于治疗方案的制定至关重要。
