Sinusitis: basic imaging aspects
Abstract
This study aims to present the theoretical data on sinusitis, as an adjacent pathology of the upper respiratory tract infections. In addition, it will present radiological images representing diagnostic methods used in the pathology of sinuses. From this point of view, natively made computer tomographic images will be presented, having as refference the conventional radiography of sinuses. There were made images of two female patients who came to the specialized ambulatory having signs and symptoms of acute sinus infections.
