Book your CT PNS - Coronal - Plain at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre providing advanced services with specializations in Radiology and Pathology. Our high-resolution Computed Tomographic (CT) imaging technology gives advanced coronal images (slices) of the Paranasal Sinuses (PNS) without having to use contrast material. This scan is useful for the accurate diagnosis of sinus infections, nasal polyps, sinus blockage, anatomical variation, fractures, as well as other conditions related to the nose and sinus cavity. State-of-the-art CT scanners are used by our experienced radiologists who excel at providing accurate and timely imaging to aid proper diagnoses and treatment.
About CT PNS - Coronal - Plain
CT PNS - Coronal - Plain is a specialized CT scan that images detailed cross sections in the coronal (front to back) direction of the paranasal sinuses. The coronal view is very helpful when assessing the morphology of the sinus drainage pathways and is frequently used before ESS.
The scan is excellent for visualizing the maxillary sinuses, frontal sinuses, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, nasal cavity, osteomeatal complex, nasal septum, adjoining facial bones and soft tissues. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, sophisticated CT imaging technology yields high-quality images for complete evaluation of sinus and ENT issues.
What is a CT PNS - Coronal - Plain?
A CT PNS - Coronal - Plain is a non-intravenous and non-operative imaging exam. It is an imaging technique that combines X-rays and computer technology to produce detailed coronal views of the paranasal sinuses, which assist the doctor in determining sinus anatomy and assessing the presence and detecting sinus structural abnormalities. This scan is often ordered for patients who suffer from persistent symptoms of sinusitis, nasal obstruction, facial pain, frequent sinus infections, and before performing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
Common Reasons for CT PNS - Coronal - Plain
- Chronic or recurrent sinusitis
- Persistent nasal blockage
- Facial pain or pressure
- Recurrent sinus infections
- Suspected nasal polyps
- Evaluation of deviated nasal septum
- 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 sinus disease.
Osteomeatal Complex Obstruction
Evaluates 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 recurrent sinus infections.
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 assessment before sinus surgery
- Have sustained facial trauma affecting the sinus region
