dc.description.abstract | Radiologic findings of fungal sinus disease are generally opacification in paranasal computed tomography (CT) images. The Hounsfield unit (HU) is a standardized objective unit that is also suitable for measuring remodeling and opacifications on CT scans of bone sections of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. We hypothesized that HU values could provide valuable information in isolated sphenoid sinus lesions before surgery. Between 2012 and 2019, 35 patients underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery for sphenoid sinus lesions. Tissues obtained from the sphenoid sinus were divided into two groups, fungal and nonfungal, according to the findings of histopathologic examinations. HU values were measured in sphenoid sinus sections on paranasal CT scans of these two groups. Differences in mean and maximum HU values between the two groups were statistically significant (<.05). The maximum HU values calculated from the sphenoid sinus were 435.08 and 196.23 (≤.05) in the fungal group and nonfungal group, respectively. The mean HU values calculated from the sphenoid sinus were 64.31 and 29 (≤.05) in the fungal and nonfungal groups, respectively. At the maximum cutoff value of 241, the sensitivity and specificity of the HU maximum were 84.6% and 77.3%, respectively. At the mean cutoff value of 41.5, the sensitivity and specificity of the HU mean were 76.9% and 86.4%, respectively. HU is an objective value used in radiographic density measurement. The HU values were higher in fungal lesions than in nonfungal inflammations, and they are useful in preoperative measurement. | en_US |
