Overview
CT scan is not usually indicated for the diagnosis of rhinitis. Clinicians are advised not to routinely perform sinonasal imaging studies in patients with symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of allergic rhinitis.[1]
CT scan
Imaging studies such as CT scan are not routinely required for the diagnosis of rhinitis. However, a CT scan may be required when further evaluation is needed, such as in cases of complicated rhinosinusitis or when other pathological conditions are suspected. CT scans are also usually indicated for the evaluation of atrophic rhinitis.
