X-ray Maxillary Sinuses

What is an X-ray Maxillary Sinuses Test?

The most prominent sinuses are the maxillary sinuses. They are near your upper jaws, or maxillae, behind your cheekbones. Previously, an X-ray of the sinuses was the gold standard for detecting whether a person had acute sinusitis in the sinuses situated behind the cheeks (maxillary sinuses).

Why is it done? 

Abnormal sinus X-ray results may indicate the presence of sinus fluid or a thicker mucous membrane. This strongly suggests a sinus infection.

An X-ray of the sinuses may also be used to identify other sinus issues, such as a tumor or bleeding in the sinuses.
