Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Paranasal Sinuses,Pharynx and Oral Cavity

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance computed tomography (NMR-CT) was performed in patients with diseases of the paranasal sinuses, pharynx and oral cavity, including inflammation, aspergillosis,cyst and cancer. Compared with X-ray computed tomography (CT), NMR-CT is free of artifacts of bone, air and dental materials, has better contrast resolution and differentiation of mucosal thickening from fluid and tumor,and can be obtained in the coronal, axial or sagittal planes with patient in the supine position with improved anatomical location of lesions.
