Abstract

Accurately assessing nasal anatomy is crucial for diagnosing and managing various respiratory and sinus-related conditions. Recent advancements in imaging technologies, particularly high-resolution computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have significantly enhanced the ability to visualize and understand the intricate structures of the nasal cavity. This paper reviews these advancements, their application in clinical practice, and their implications for improving diagnostic accuracy, surgical planning, and patient outcomes. By analyzing data from a cohort of patients, this study demonstrates how modern imaging techniques have revolutionized the study of nasal anatomy and contributed to more effective treatment strategies in otolaryngology.
