In cases suspected of sinusitis as per the symptoms, few tests help to confirm sinusitis. The mostsimple and frequently recommended test for diagnosing sinusitis is X-ray of paranasal sinuses (X-ray PNS). It is a non-invasive (means it does not involve inserting any instrument in the ski...

persist in those with asthma, chronic illnesses, weak immune systems, andcystic fibrosis. X-rays are rarely conducted todiagnosis sinusitis, as it can be clearly and accurately diagnosed through other means. However, if complications as a result of sinusitis are suspected, an X-ray may be ...
X-ray and other imaging tests In some cases further imaging tests such as X-ray, computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used alongside ultrasound. In unclear, difficult or chronic cases they provide information on the anatomical conditions. These examinations are also...

The median was more significant than the swelling of the bronchial mucosa: X-ray imaging: the nasal sinus revealed turbidity, pulmonary bronchi and pulmonary angiogenesis were more obvious (especially at the bottom of the lung). This indicates bronchial pulmonary parenchyma. In addition to nasal ...
Computed tomography (CT): This is an imaging technique that composites multiple X-ray images to create three-dimensional "slices" of the sinuses. Allergy testing: If an allergy is suspected but the cause is unknown, allergy tests (like a skin prick test) may be used to help identify the ...
We have previously shown that most of these sinus X-ray abnormalities represent non-infectious inflammation, and treatment of sinusitis in these children improves asthma and decreases bronchial reactivity. A rabbit model was developed to investigate the effect of the upper respiratory tract inflammation...
