Inter-observer and intra-observer variability in the assessment of the paranasal sinuses radiographs

Inter-observer and intra-observer variability in the assessment of the paranasal sinuses radiographs

The aims of this study are to determine the intra-observer and inter-observer agreement between the two radiologists when reporting the Waters view and 3 views series of the paranasal sinus radiographs. To also determine whether a single Waters view is adequate for diagnostic purpose of sinusitis. 9...
