Summary

This on-demand teaching session is tailored to the needs of medical professionals and will provide an in-depth examination of CT scans of paranasal sinuses. It will cover topics such as: function of the paranasal sinuses, anatomy of paranasal sinuses, CT interpretation of these anatomy and shape and features of maxillary sinus, frontal sinus and ethmoid sinus. In addition, speakers will discuss the growth pattern of maxillary sinuss, the innervation of each sinus and more. This session is the perfect opportunity to learn the basics of CT scan of the paranasal sinuses in order to provide high quality medical care.
