Summary
This study details computed tomography and MR imaging for sinonasal space neoplasms. Understanding imaging features aids in differential diagnosis and identifying malignant pathologies.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Oncology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Neoplasms in the sinonasal space present diagnostic challenges.
- Accurate imaging is crucial for patient management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of sinonasal neoplasms.
- To aid in differential diagnosis and identification of malignancy.
Main Methods:
- Review of CT and MR imaging findings in patients with sinonasal neoplasms.
- Correlation of imaging features with histopathologic diagnoses where available.
Main Results:
- Specific CT and MR imaging characteristics are associated with different sinonasal neoplasms.
- Imaging can help differentiate benign from malignant lesions.
Conclusions:
- Computed tomography and MR imaging are valuable tools for evaluating sinonasal neoplasms.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
