MRI, and CT can lag: behind the diagnosis by 2 or 3 days. So doctors treat clinical symptoms, not just images. Depends if you are congested or not. If not, then your imaging could be negative. Your doctor will tell you whether they are actively going to treat you for your sinuses or if you have a generalized head cold which won't show up on a CT, or MRI. Follow your doctor's advice.Their exam showed best how to treat.
