Gray-scale (B-mode) sonography of the maxillary sinus
A. W. Nelson, H. T. Reed, P. J. Haney, D. G. Varma, K. Adams, W. Beckett and J. E. Whitley
Gray-scale sonographic examination of the maxillary sinuses of five normal volunteers and 12 patients with maxillary sinus disease was performed and correlated with other radiologic imaging modalities, clinical follow-up, and, in two cases, surgical findings. B-mode scanning is a rapid, potentially useful, nonionizing diagnostic modality for determining whether the maxillary sinuses contain fluid or are normally aerated. Sonography may also demonstrate mucosal thickening, focal soft tissue masses, and complex collections. |
