Reprint requests to: publications@acr.org Arteriography Craniofacial There is no relevant literature to support the use of arteriography in the evaluation of acute uncomplicated rhinosinusitis. CT Cone Beam Paranasal Sinuses As per clinical practice guidelines from the AAO-HNS, CT imaging of the sinuses is unnecessary for patients with a clinical diagnosis of ARS [1]. CT has not been shown to accurately distinguish ABRS from ARS of viral etiology [1,17,18]. Moreover, cone beam CT (CBCT) is limited in the evaluation of the soft tissues and is therefore not helpful in the imaging assessment of complications of sinus disease [19]. CT Head As per clinical practice guidelines from the AAO-HNS, imaging is unnecessary for patients with a clinical diagnosis of ARS [1]. There is no relevant literature to support the use of CT head in the evaluation of acute uncomplicated rhinosinusitis. CT Maxillofacial As per clinical practice guidelines from the AAO-HNS, CT imaging of the sinuses is unnecessary for patients with a clinical diagnosis of ARS [1]. CT has not been shown to accurately distinguish ABRS from ARS of viral etiology [1,17,18]. CTA Head There is no relevant literature to support the use of CT angiography (CTA) head in the evaluation of acute uncomplicated rhinosinusitis. FDG-PET/CT Skull Base to Mid-Thigh There is no relevant literature to support the use of fluorine-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-PET/CT in the evaluation of acute uncomplicated rhinosinusitis. MRA Head There is no relevant literature to support the use of MR angiography (MRA) head in the evaluation of acute uncomplicated rhinosinusitis. Sinonasal Disease MRI Head As per clinical practice guidelines from the AAO-HNS, imaging is unnecessary for patients with a clinical diagnosis of ARS [1]. There is no relevant literature to support the use of MRI head in the evaluation of acute uncomplicated rhinosinusitis.
