Book your CECT (Axial + Coronal) at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH-accredited diagnostic centre providing state-of-the-art radiology and pathology services. The images show our CECT (Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography) system, which gives high-resolution, axial and coronal images of the Paranasal Sinuses (PNS) with intravenous contrast, assisting physicians to diagnose sinonasal tumours and complicated sinus infections, inflammatory conditions, vascular abnormalities and other complex conditions of the nose and paranasal sinuses.

We employ high-resolution CT scanners, equipped with the latest technology, and have a fast reporting system to provide detailed contrast-enhanced images as well as timely reporting, assuring quick and correct diagnosis and treatment planning.

About CECT PNS (Axial + Coronal)

A CECT PNS (Axial + Coronal) of the Paranasal Sinus is a specialized CT scan after injecting IV contrast that helps look at detailed cross-sectional images from both the top to bottom (Axial) and front to back (Coronal) plane of the Paranasal Sinus. The contrast agent allows for more detailed evaluation of complex sinonasal diseases, including the examination of the sinus mucosa, its circulation, soft tissue, and abnormal lesions.

Excellent imaging of the maxillary sinus, frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus, sphenoid sinus, nasal cavity, osteomeatal complex, nasal septum, turbinates, adjacent soft tissue, lymph nodes, adjacent facial bones, and blood vessels. In Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, high-quality and precise image quality assessments are done by advanced imaging technology to provide images of the sinus and ENT area.

What is a CECT PNS (Axial + Coronal)?

CECT PNS Axial + Coronal is a non-invasive imaging exam using intravenous contrast. An X-ray and sophisticated computer processing to create in-depth images in two planes, which provides the physician with a more comprehensive understanding of paranasal sinus infections, tumours, inflammatory diseases, soft tissue abnormalities, and vascular involvement. This scan is routinely performed when there is a suspicion of a sinonasal tumour, a complicated sinonasal infection, persisting facial pain/swelling, or detailed assessment of the paranasal sinuses before therapy or surgery.

Common Reasons for CECT PNS (Axial + Coronal)

• Persistent or recurrent sinus infections
• Suspected sinonasal tumours
• Chronic facial pain or swelling
• Evaluation of soft tissue masses
• Assessment of inflammatory sinus disease
• Investigation of complications of sinus infections
• Pre-operative evaluation before ENT surgery
• Follow-up assessment after treatment or surgery

Conditions Evaluated

Sinonasal Tumours

Helps detect and evaluate benign and malignant tumours affecting the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

Complicated Sinus Infections

Assesses the extent of infection, abscess formation, and spread to adjacent structures.

Inflammatory Conditions

Evaluates inflammatory changes involving the sinus mucosa and surrounding soft tissues.

Soft Tissue Abnormalities

Detects masses, cysts, and other abnormalities affecting the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

Vascular Abnormalities

Provides enhanced visualization of blood vessels and vascular involvement in sinonasal diseases.

Post-Surgical Changes

Monitors healing and evaluates the surgical site following ENT procedures.
