Oblique reconstruction CT images of frontal sinus drainage pathways were created with ONIS which is free DICOM viewer software. By placing the slice line of the cross sectional image on the drainage pathway of the frontal sinus in the sagittal view, the key oblique CT image could be generated in 96.9% of 65 normal paranasal sinuses that showed the frontal sinus and its drainage pathway simultaneously in one slice.
