Summary :
CT scanning has become the major investigation for sinusitis which is not acute, but chronic. It is a good diagnostic tool, but also allows follow-up assessment of progress, and preoperative evaluation of particular problems related to abnormalities or anatomical variations. MRI scanning has a lesser place, and is most useful in evaluating certain types of pseudo-tumorous sinus conditions, or excluding local complications (in the anterior cranial fossa or orbit).
