Sensitivity of Sinus Radiography Compared to Computed Tomogram: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study from Western Region of Nepal.

Introduction: Radiography of the paranasal sinuses is commonly used diagnostic modality. However, the trustworthiness of plain radiographic findings of paranasal sinuses is debatable. The intention of this study was to weigh the diagnostic soundness of plain radiograph of the paranasal sinuses to that of computed tomogram scan.

Value of image-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology-a study of 500 cases.

Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) as the first line investigation is not only useful in diagnosis of space occupying lesions but can also help in choosing appropriate management.
