Abstract

Introduction and objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not commonly used as the first technique in the study of sinonasal pathology, it is usually complementary to computed tomography (CT), however it is useful for the assessment of some pathology and response to treatment. Method: Updated review and study of the protocols and the most representative cases carried out in our department during the last 5 years. Results: The main advantages and utilities of MRI in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease sinonasal are explained. The anatomy of the sinuses and nasal cavity through MRI in different planes is explicated. MRI sequences employed are analyzed, the indications of diagnostic imaging technique are shown according to the pathology and the imaging features in MRI are explained for both, inflammatory pathology and paranasal neoplasms. Conclusions: Although MRI is behind the TC in the study of sinonasal pathology is particularly useful for assessing tumor pathology because of its ability to distinguish between different tissues and facilitate the diagnosis extension of neoplasms. In addition MRI is usually the technique of choice for the post-treatment evaluation.
