Comparison of CT and adjusted MRI for evaluating paranasal sinuses surgical key landmarks
Background: Sinus CT is the imaging technique of choice for planning endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Although MRI has a better soft tissue demonstration, it is not commonly used for ESS due to suboptimal bone demonstration. We hypothesised that adjustment of certain MRI parameters, would allow better demonstration of bones and enable the surgeon to adequately identify surgical landmarks. Methodology: Twenty patients identified as candidates for ESS underwent CT and adjusted MRI exams of the paranasal sinuses (40 in total). rhinologist and a neuroradiologist independently compared and graded 46 bony structures (23 on each side) in each patient's CT and MRI. Overall, 920 anatomical structures were graded by each observer (1840 structures in total). Statistical analysis included overall and per variable grading distribution for each observer, and overall agreement. Results: MRI images were equal, or superior to CT for assessing paranasal anatomy in 66.8% and 86.4% of structures evaluated by the rhinologist and neuroradiologist, respectively. Overall agreement between observers (77%) was moderate. Conclusion: The rhinologist prefers CT demonstration of bony structures, while the neuroradiologist prefers MRI. Still, with the MRI protocol used in this study, according to both, most bony structures are well demonstrated by MRI.
