dependency of clinicians and surgeons on imaging studies for primary evaluation of patients and also for follow up of them, significantly increased in recent years, parallel to advances in imaging methods and new imaging modalities. regarding to these tips, it is important that we can use new concepts in conducting imaging to fulfill new requirements of clinicians and then provide sufficient da...

BACKGROUND Restoring orbital volume in large blowout fractures is still a technically challenge to the orbital surgeon. In this study, we restored the orbital wall using the combination of transorbital and transnasal approach with additional supports from the paranasal sinuses, and we compared the surgical outcome to that of a conventional transorbital method. METHODS A retrospective review o...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was retrospective analysis of evidence concerning to malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses diagnosed in Otolaryngology Clinic of the Military Institute of the Health Service 1971-2005. The methods of therapy were also discussed. MATERIAL AND METHODS Material comprised 113 patients (35 females and 78 males) with diagnosis of malignant t...

PURPOSE To evaluate the relative value of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging versus computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of inflammatory paranasal sinus disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 30 patients suspected of having or known to have inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, both coronal CT and coronal T1-weighted, three-dimensional, gradient-echo MR imaging of the paranasal sinuses were per...

OBJECTIVES Recent radiological studies have demonstrated that formation of the sphenoid sinus is preceded by a phase of fatty transformation of the bone marrow, and then by a phase of fat involution prior to the appearance of an aerated cavity and that this process can sometimes be interrupted, resulting in the persistence of images of arrested pneumatisation. The objective of the study was to ...

Inevitably, reading is one of the requirements to be undergone. To improve the performance and quality, someone needs to have something new every day. It will suggest you to have more inspirations, then. However, the needs of inspirations will make you searching for some sources. Even from the other people experience, internet, and many books. Books and internet are the recommended media to hel...

Because of the interest in reducing the time and radiation required for screening sinuses with CT, we compared the quality of conventional coronal CT images with coronally reconstructed, axially acquired spiral CT images. The spiral reconstructions compared favorably with the conventional images and had significantly less motion and dental amalgam artifacts.

The advent of endoscopic sinus surgery led to a resurgence of interest in the detailed anatomy of the internal nose and paranasal sinuses. However, the official Terminologica Anatomica used by basic anatomists omits many of the structures of surgical importance. This led to numerous clinical anatomy papers and much discussion about the exact names and definitions for the structures of surgical ...
