Core Tip	We studied the role of advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques in the evaluation of sinonasal masses. The mean apparent diffusion coefficient derived from conventional diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can serve as an imaging marker to differentiate between benign and malignant sinonasal masses. Other imaging parameters such as, the true diffusion coefficient from intravoxel incoherent motion imaging (IVIM), the kurtosis coefficient and diffusion coefficient from diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), were also statistically significant. However, there was no incremental benefit of DKI and IVIM over conventional DWI. Perfusion parameters also did not show any significant difference.
