Abstrakt: Chronic rhinosinusitis is currently diagnosed on history-taking with nasendoscopic confirmation. Sinus x-rays are insensitive and non-specific but are still requested, particularly by primary care physicians. The rate of sinus x-rays can be reduced by informing GPs of current best practice guidelines.
