ABSTRACT
With considering of high prevalence of sinusitis and variable imaging modalities in diagnosis of it, we decided to evaluate sensitivity and specifity of plain x-ray in diagnosis of acute sinusitis. In this researeh , CTscan and plain x-ray findings of 83 patients with suspected acute sinusitis (by otorhinolayrngologist) - with considering of ethical and economic notices - were compared and descriptive studies were done . CTscan is considered as gold standadrd . Sensitivity and specifity of plain x-ray (waters and caldwell views) in diagnosis of acute sinusitis for paranasal sinuses Were maxillary (0.85 - 0.85), sphenoid (0.55 - 0.95), ethmoid (0.79 - 0.94), and frontal (0.86 - 0.93) sinuses and positive predictive value and negative predictive value were : maxillary (0.83 - 0.87), sphenoid (0.73 - 0.89), ethmoid (0.87 - 0.90), and frontal (0.83 - 0.94) respectirly.
Waters and caldwell views are accurate methods in primary investigation and also in follow up of patients with acute sinusitis without complication.
