Description

This module on paranasal sinuses will focus on detailed CT anatomy and important paranasal sinus landmarks. You will learn how to prospectively identify important normal variants that predispose patients for surgical complications and how to easily navigate through the complex structures of a PNS CT.

Participants will get direct feedback on all the reported cases including case-statistics and annotated image solutions.

A webinar about Paranasal Sinuses is also included as additional learning material, along with a document which would take you through the aspects to take into consideration when reporting PNS cases. We highly recommend you to watch the webinar and read through the introductory document.
