Objectives: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in sinonasal imaging is fairly novel and remains limited to date. This study aimed to compare (1) the image quality of CBCT and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), and (2) the eye lens dose for paranasal sinus imaging between these two modes of imaging.

Objective: We aimed to determine whether cerebral cortices have regional variation on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) and corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps. We also aimed to explore the effect of using 1.5T and 3T MRI with respect to such regional variation.
