High CT Attenuation Values Relative to the Brainstem Predict Fungal Hyphae Within the Sinus

High CT Attenuation Values Relative to the Brainstem Predict Fungal Hyphae Within the Sinus

ObjectivesThere is currently no established objective diagnostic indicator for the differentiation of sinus fungal ball (SFB) from unilateral nonfungal chronic sinusitis (UCRS). This study evaluated whether computed tomography (CT) attenuation values relative to those of the brainstem (relative CT n...
