NCT ID NCT02397148
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 50 adults with sinus issues to see how well CT scans and cone beam scans match up when checking sinus details. Each person got both scans, and doctors compared 26 specific features. The goal was to see if cone beam, which uses less radiation, works just as well as CT for sinus imaging.
