Abstract
As described in Chapter 2, scans of the paranasal sinus and oro- and nasopharynx are obtained in the axial and coronal plane with a usual thickness of 1.5–6 mm and, if necessary, with intravenous contrast enhancement (300 ml of 14% iodinated contrast medium, diatrizoate meglumine). Patients are scanned from the level of the superior border of the frontal sinus to the level of the floor of the mouth, depending on the extension of pathology. Sixteen sections in the axial plane are obtained parallel to the infra-orbito-meatal line. Thirteen sections in the coronal plane are obtained perpendicular to the infra-orbito-meatal line. All sections 4.5 mm interspaced and with a thickness of 1.5 mm.
