Intraoperative CT surgery provides the surgeon with additional information about the altered surgical site in difficult anatomical situations. The skull base and lamina papyracea may be revealed by means of intraoperative CT, which may be beneficial in endonasal sinus surgery involving difficult surgical sites, although individual ethmoid cells cannot be assessed owing to blood artefacts. This provides the surgeon with valuable information that may facilitate the procedure considerably. In soft-tissue surgery it is advisable to apply a contrast agent in order to achieve good soft-tissue contrast, thus allowing the tumour to be adequately distinguished from benign tissue. The intraoperative application of CT is a fairly time-consuming procedure, partly owing to the preparation time (set-up of the appliance; 10-min warming-up phase) and partly due to the length of time required to calculate each image (15 s).
