Determining the need for surgery and managing chronic sinusitis necessitates an evaluation of the extent of the disease. High-resolution computed tomography can reveal sinus problems not readily shown on x-ray films. Pathologic variations and inaccessible anatomic structures can also be revealed in this manner. In this study by Memphis ENT specialist, Dr. Rande Lazar, several scanning techniques are compared. Computed tomography shows an unquestionable lead in diagnosis and evaluation of sinusitis, but despite that lead, a conscientious investigation using multiple techniques should still be used to determine the need for surgery.
