Diagnostic nasal endoscopy showed high sensitivity (0.87) but moderate specificity (0.63) versus computed tomography. Computed tomography demonstrated good sensitivity (0.90) but limited specificity (0.50) versus histopathology. Magnetic resonance imaging provided moderate sensitivity (0.71) and high specificity (0.88) versus computed tomography.
