Imaging Anatomy of the Paranasal Sinuses

Anatomy of the paranasal sinuses on imaging. In this video we'll explore the anatomy of the paranasal sinuses on CT. A good understanding of paranasal sinus anatomy is imperative to understand imaging patterns in rhinosinusitis. Imaging anatomy is complicated by the presence of many anatomical variants. A good understanding of paranasal sinus anatomy is needed to detect predisposing factors for the development of (chronic) sinusitis and to identify possible surgical risks. This presentation was made by dr. Simon Nicolay (UZ Antwerp, Belgium) and dr. Sven Dekeyzer (UZ Ghent, Belgium).
