Abstract
This chapter describes 99mTc-MDP pinhole scanning manifestations of inflammation, infections, granulomas, and malignant tumors of the paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and mastoid. The other otorhinological diseases of scintigraphic interest such as fibrous dysplasia, Paget’s disease, and giant cell tumor are discussed in detail in their respective chapters. Most recently, 18F-FDG PET has become increasingly used for the diagnosis, staging and restaging, and monitoring of treatments of malignant tumors of the nose, pharynx, and throat with promising results (Yen et al 2005; Rivera et al. 2005). Traumatology is not included in this discussion since it is primarily the objective of radiography, CT, and MRI.
