Abstract
Staging of malignant tumours of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses was studied in a total of 36 patients using Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Areas affected by the tumour were studied and clinical staging was carried out using CT and MRI separately. For most cases, surgical findings were also available and could be used for comparison. In a number of cases (n=13) in which the lesions were due to benign lesions, the results of MRI and CT were also compared with one another and if possible with surgical findings. The results of CT and MRI were compared by statistical analysis.
