In an X-ray examination of the paranasal sinuses, the visible structures include the maxillary sinuses, the frontal sinus, the sphenoid and ethmoid bone sinuses, the mastoid air cells of the temporal bone, as well as other bony structures of the skull, for example, the lower jaw (mandible), upper jaw (maxilla), the walls of the orbit, the main parts of the parietal and temporal bones. In a lateral projection, it is also possible to assess the patency of the nasopharynx, the sella turcica, the nasal bones, and other anatomical structures. In standard situations, the paranasal sinuses are examined in two projections: Waters (occipitomental) and Caldwell (occipitofrontal), and in some cases, a lateral projection is also used.

The examination can detect diseases such as sinusitis (maxillary sinusitis, frontitis, ethmoiditis, sphenoiditis), fractures of the orbit and other skull bones, deviation of the bony part of the nasal septum, formations in the sella turcica (e.g., pituitary adenoma), and other diseases and conditions.
