Abstract：Objective To compare and analyze the clinical application of DR and MSCT in the diagnosis of paranasal sinus diseases in children .Methods Clinical manifestation , DR and MSCT images of 105 Children clinically diagnosed as paranasal sinus diseases were analyzed retrospectively .Detection rates of two imaging methods were compared .All patients underwent DR using Toshiba MRAD-D50SDR and axial volume scanning of paranasal sinus using Phillips Brilliance 6 slice spiral CT scan.Re-sults Among those 105 patients, 54 paranasal sinusitis, 13 submucous cysts, 2 polyps, 1 mucocele, 3 osteomas, 3 maxillary si-nus fracture were detected by DR, while, 68 paranasal sinusitis, 16 submucous cysts, 5 polyps, 4 mucocele, 3 osteomas, 9 max-illary sinus fracture were found by MSCT .Conclusion DR provides limited diagnostic information for paranasal sinusitis and has limited information about sphenoid sinus and nasal disease , which is easily misdiagnosed .By multiplanar reconstruction of MSCT volume scan, paranasal sinus diseases can be completelly observed , positioned and characterized .In children's paranasal sinus diseases, MSCT has a distinct advantage and deserves popularization .
