AbstractWhile most patients with inflammatory rhinosinusitis are successfully diagnosed clinically, imaging is indicated in patients with recurrent or chronic sinusitis, atypical symptoms and complicated acute sinusitis. Non-enhanced high resolution, thin section computed tomography (CT) is the reference standard in evaluating such patients. It provides superb anatomical details and enables a fairly accurate diagnosis and delineation of the disease, addressing all concerns of the endoscopic surgeon prior to intervention. Contrast MR imaging is preferred for assessing intraorbital or intracranial complications. The radiologist must have a systematic approach to sinonasal CT and generate a clinically relevant report that impacts patient management. Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
