Computed tomography of the face and paranasal sinuses: Part I. Normal anatomy. 1984

R T Sataloff, and C B Grossman, and C Gonzales, and M H Naheedy

Computed tomographic (CT) scanning of the face and sinuses has improved markedly with modern equipment and methods. Expertise in facial and sinus anatomy as seen by CT is invaluable to the clinician. A review of normal CT anatomy is presented as a basis for diagnosing pathologic conditions.
