DR NOYEK: Computed tomographic (CT) scanning has revolutionized the neurosciences. It now has obvious application to clinical otolaryngology. For example, diagnostic imaging of frontal sinus fractures, including the nature and extent of fracture displacements and the detection of early and delayed fracture complications, has been improved by CT scanning. Dr Kassel, should all patients with suspected frontal sinus fractures undergo CT scans? Dr Kassel: Yes. Computed tomography is the fastest, simplest, and least invasive test available that has the diagnostic capability to supply maximum information for the time and radiation used. Dr Noyek: Could you compare complex motion tomography and current generation CT scanning, both in values and limitations? Dr Kassel: The CT scan has notable
