What is sinus?
A sinus is defined as a cavity in a bone, any cavity having a relatively narrow opening. Sinusitis is the inflammation of a sinus, especially a paranasal sinus. Often it is described as an inflammation of the nasal sinuses that accompanies upper respiratory infection. Sinuses affected by this infection include those above the eyes, inside each cheekbone, behind the bridge of the nose, and in the upper nose.

Sinus MRI scan
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the sinuses is a noninvasive method to create detailed pictures of the the air-filled spaces inside the skull. These spaces are called the sinuses. Unlike x-rays and computed tomographic (CT) scans, which use radiation, MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves. The MRI scanner contains the magnet. The magnetic field produced by an MRI is about 10 thousand times greater than the earth's. The magnetic field forces hydrogen atoms in the body to line up in a certain way (similar to how the needle on a compass moves when you hold it near a magnet). When radio waves are sent toward the lined-up hydrogen atoms, they bounce back, and a computer records the signal. Different types of tissues send back different signals. Single MRI images are called slices. The images can be stored on a computer or printed on film. One exam produces dozens or sometimes hundreds of images.
