Book your appointment at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre, offering state-of-the-art Radiology & Pathology services, performing CECT PNS - Coronal. The highly advanced CECT technology gives doctors a high-resolution coronal view of Paranasal Sinuses (PNS) with special intravenous (IV) contrast media that is used to efficiently diagnose PNS sinus and nasal infections, tumors, inflammatory disorders, vascular abnormalities, and other complex disorders.
About CECT PNS - Coronal
CECT PNS is a sophisticated CT scan exam of the paranasal sinus space after giving an injection of intravenous (into the vein) contrast dye to help visualize all the parts of the coronal (front to back) cross-sections of the paranasal sinuses. The contrast agent improves the visualization of sinus mucosa, blood vessels, soft tissues, and abnormal lesions, which is particularly useful for complex sinus diseases.
Excellent visualization of the maxillary, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses as well as the nasal cavity, osteomeatal complex, nasal septum, adjacent soft tissues, surrounding facial bones, and vascular structures. Advanced CT imaging technology ensures high-quality contrast-enhanced images for an all-round evaluation of sinus disorders and ENT conditions at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy.
What is a CECT PNS - Coronal?
CECT PNS - Coronal is a non-invasive X-ray scan of the paranasal sinuses, which is taken with IV contrast. It utilizes X-rays and computer technology to create detailed Coronal frontal views of the paranasal sinuses that enable physicians to more accurately evaluate infections, tumours, inflammation, soft tissue changes, and vascular changes.
Patients who are recommended for this type of scan include those who may have a tumour in their nose and sinus area and those who may have long-term facial pain for which further evaluation may be necessary before treatment or surgery.
Common Reasons for CECT PNS - 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.
