Diagnostic accuracy of nasal endoscopy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging for chronic rhinosinusitis and sinonasal polyps: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Diagnostic nasal endoscopy is highly sensitive but moderately specific. Computed tomography is sensitive but limited by false positives. Magnetic resonance imaging appears more specific, although evidence remains scarce. Further paired imaging-histopathology studies are required.
