Our advanced Computed Tomography (CT) enables us to deliver high-resolution axial and coronal images of Paranasal Sinuses (PNS), without the need for a contrast agent. This thorough examination allows physicians to make a more precise diagnosis of sinusitis, nasal polyps, sinus blockages, structural variations, facial bone abnormalities, and many other diseases of the nasal and sinus areas. Equipped with the latest generation computed tomography (CT) scanners, our experienced radiologists provide detailed multiplanar images, with quick reports, aiding in an accurate diagnosis and the efficient setting up of the treatment.
About CT PNS (Axial + Coronal) - Plain
A CT PNS (Axial + Coronal) - Plain is a specialized CT scan that produces detailed axial (horizontal) and coronal (front-to-back) images of the paranasal sinuses. The complementary views provide a thorough understanding of the sinus anatomy, drainage pathways, and surrounding facial anatomy.
The scan also provides good visualization of the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses, the nasal cavity, osteomeatal complex, nasal septum and turbinates, facial bones, and nearby soft tissues. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy offers state-of-the-art CT imaging technology that provides high-quality images for precise diagnosis of sinus and ENT disorders.
What is a CT PNS (Axial + Coronal) - Plain?
A non-intravenous computed tomography (IV) exam of the PNS (Axial + Coronal) - Plain employs X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of paranasal sinuses in two imaging planes that enable a doctor to more accurately assess the anatomy of the sinuses and detect disease and structural abnormalities. This scan is useful for patients who have chronic sinus symptoms, recurrent sinus infections, nasal obstruction, facial pain, or prior to functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
Common Reasons for CT PNS (Axial + Coronal) - Plain
Chronic or recurrent sinusitis
Persistent nasal blockage
Facial pain or sinus pressure
Recurrent sinus infections
Suspected nasal polyps
Evaluation of a deviated nasal septum
Pre-operative assessment before Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Facial trauma involving the sinus region
Conditions Evaluated
Chronic Sinusitis
Evaluates inflammation, mucosal thickening, fluid accumulation, and sinus obstruction.
Nasal Polyps
Detects soft tissue growths within the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
Deviated Nasal Septum
Assesses septal deviation that may contribute to nasal obstruction and recurrent sinus disease.
Osteomeatal Complex Obstruction
Evaluates narrowing or blockage of the sinus drainage pathways.
Sinus Fractures
Helps identify fractures involving the paranasal sinuses and surrounding facial bones.
Anatomical Variations
Detects structural variations that may predispose patients to chronic sinus disease or influence surgical planning.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have persistent nasal congestion
Experience chronic or recurrent sinus infections
Have facial pain or pressure
Have suspected nasal polyps or sinus disease
Require pre-operative evaluation before sinus surgery
Have sustained facial trauma affecting the sinus region

No special preparation is usually required for a CT PNS (Axial + Coronal) - Plain scan.
Wear comfortable clothing and remove earrings, nose pins, spectacles, hearing aids, dentures (if advised), hairpins, or any metallic objects around the head and neck before the examination.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant before undergoing the scan.
Inform your doctor about any recent sinus surgery, facial injury, chronic sinus disease, nasal implants, or other significant medical conditions that may be relevant to the examination.
Carry previous CT scans, MRI, X-rays, ENT consultation notes, nasal endoscopy reports, or other relevant medical records, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully and remain completely still during image acquisition to obtain clear, high-quality images.
Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and preparation.
CT PNS (Axial + Coronal) - Plain जांच के लिए आमतौर पर किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा जांच से पहले कान की बालियां, नोज़ पिन, चश्मा, हियरिंग एड, डेंचर (यदि सलाह दी जाए), हेयरपिन या सिर एवं गर्दन के आसपास की सभी धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को अवश्य बताएं।
यदि आपकी हाल ही में साइनस की सर्जरी हुई है, चेहरे पर चोट लगी है, पुरानी साइनस की बीमारी है, नाक में कोई इम्प्लांट है या कोई अन्य महत्वपूर्ण स्वास्थ्य समस्या है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर को दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पिछली CT Scan, MRI, X-ray, ENT परामर्श, Nasal Endoscopy रिपोर्ट या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
जांच के दौरान CT तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें और उच्च गुणवत्ता वाली इमेज प्राप्त करने के लिए बिल्कुल स्थिर रहें।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 10–15 मिनट पहले पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT scanner table with the head properly aligned to obtain accurate axial and coronal images of the paranasal sinuses.
The scan is performed without intravenous contrast material, unless otherwise advised by the treating physician.
The CT scanner acquires high-resolution axial and coronal images of the frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses, nasal cavity, osteomeatal complex, nasal septum, turbinates, adjacent facial bones, and surrounding soft tissues.
The patient is instructed to remain completely still during image acquisition to ensure sharp and accurate images.
The examination provides detailed evaluation of chronic sinusitis, recurrent sinus infections, nasal polyps, deviated nasal septum, osteomeatal complex obstruction, facial bone fractures, congenital anatomical variations, and other structural abnormalities.
The procedure is safe, painless, non-invasive, and generally completed within 5–10 minutes.
The radiologist carefully analyzes the multiplanar images to assess sinus anatomy, drainage pathways, inflammatory changes, traumatic injuries, and other ENT-related conditions, helping guide appropriate treatment planning.
The scan is commonly performed for persistent nasal congestion, facial pain, recurrent sinus infections, suspected sinus disease, facial trauma, and pre-operative evaluation before Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
