Assessment of non-invasive chronic fungal rhinosinusitis by cone beam CT: comparison with multidetector CT findings.
Fukushima Journal of Medical Science 2017 August 10
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of cone beam CT (CBCT) to diagnose non-invasive chronic fungal rhinosinusitis.
METHODS: Preoperative CT evaluation of non-invasive chronic fungal rhinosinusitis was performed by CBCT (3D Accuitomo 170® ) and traditional multidetector CT (MDCT) (Aquilion 32® ) in 13 and 38 patients with non-invasive chronic fungal maxillary sinusitis, respectively, in different facilities. Detection of intrasinus calcification was compared between these two groups.
RESULTS: Detection of intrasinus calcification in patients with non-invasive chronic fungal maxillary sinusitis was higher in the MDCT group (84.2%) than the CBCT group (46.2%).
CONCLUSION: CBCT is inferior to MDCT in detection of intrasinus calcification in patients with non-invasive chronic fungal maxillary sinusitis. CBCT is frequently used in the screening of the paranasal lesion, but it is not enough to evaluate non-invasive chronic fungal maxillary sinusitis alone.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study.
