THE USE OF IODIZED OIL IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF NASAL SINUS DISEASE: PART I

Abstract

Abstract The diagnosis of sinusitis by means of the roentgen ray is often uncertain because the shadows cast by pathologic processes can be confused so easily with normal anatomic variations in bony conformation and density. For this reason, it would seem to be of great advantage if the inner surfaces of the lining mucous membranes could be definitely outlined by some opaque substance.
