BT site of involvement and temporal characteristicsa
Groups | Superior | Middle | Inferior | Temporal-Improvingb | Temporal-Transientc |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
FS | 6 | 16 | 5 | 11 | |
Brain | 8 | 28 | 13 | 16 |
↵a The location of the black turbinates and the change in enhancement during multiple series are shown. Because a patient can demonstrate BT in >1 turbinate (ie, both the middle and inferior turbinates can show BT simultaneously), the total number of turbinates seen with BT is larger than the number of cases in each group.
↵b BT persists across all sequences but improves gradually.
↵c BT resolves on later sequences.
