About CECT Para Nasal Sinuses (PNS)
This is the kind of CT scan that scans the sinus cavity in detail and is known as CECT Para Nasal Sinuses (PNS). This provides easy visualization of the frontal sinus, the maxillary sinus, the ethmoid sinus, the sphenoid sinus, the nasal cavity, the sinus walls, and the surrounding facial bones. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, CT scans provide a clear picture of what's happening to the patient's sinus cavity and help the doctor determine the condition of that particular sinus.
What is CECT Para Nasal Sinuses (PNS)?
A computed tomography (CT) scan of the nasal passages and sinus which are, followed by giving the patient a radiopaque dye, is known as CECT Para Nasal Sinuses (PNS). The contrast medium may help make it easier to detect abnormalities, infection, inflammation, abnormal growth, and other changes in the body. This type of scan is often used in patients with chronic sinus disease, nasal obstruction, facial pain, frequent sinus infections (sinusitis), or suspected sinus abnormalities.
Common Reasons for CECT Para Nasal Sinuses (PNS)
Chronic sinusitis or recurrent sinus infections
Persistent nasal blockage or congestion
Facial pain or pressure around the sinuses
Nasal polyps evaluation
Suspected sinus tumour or abnormal growth
Assessment before sinus surgery
Evaluation of facial trauma or fractures
Unexplained nasal discharge or bleeding
Conditions Evaluated
Chronic Sinusitis
Helps identify sinus inflammation, infection, fluid collection, and blockage.
Nasal Polyps
Evaluates abnormal soft tissue growths inside the nasal cavity and sinuses.
Sinus Tumours and Lesions
Helps detect abnormal masses or growths affecting the sinus region.
Sinus Fractures
Assesses fractures involving sinus walls and surrounding facial bones after trauma.
Anatomical Abnormalities
Evaluates structural variations that may contribute to breathing difficulties or recurrent sinus problems.
Post-Surgical Evaluation
Monitors changes after sinus surgery and evaluates treatment outcomes.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend CECT Para Nasal Sinuses (PNS) if you:
Have long-term sinus symptoms
Experience repeated sinus infections
Have persistent facial pain or pressure
Suffer from nasal blockage or breathing difficulty
Need evaluation before sinus surgery
Have suspected sinus abnormalities or growths
Require detailed assessment after facial trauma

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
Fasting for 4–6 hours may be required before the examination if intravenous contrast is to be administered. Please follow the instructions provided by your doctor or the diagnostic centre.
Drink adequate water before the scan unless your doctor has advised otherwise.
Wear comfortable clothing and remove watches, bracelets, rings, wristbands, or any metallic objects from the right forearm and hand before the scan.
Inform the radiographer if you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, as CT scans involve ionising radiation.
Inform the staff if you have a history of allergy to iodinated contrast dye, asthma, kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or any previous reaction to contrast injections.
Bring your doctor's referral along with any previous X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound reports, or orthopaedic imaging related to your right forearm for comparison.
Continue taking your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise. If you are taking medication for diabetes (such as Metformin), inform the radiology team before the examination.
Inform the radiographer if you have recently undergone surgery or have metal plates, screws, pins, rods, casts, or other implants in your right forearm.
Arrive at the diagnostic centre 20–30 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration, screening, and contrast preparation.
यदि नस के माध्यम से कॉन्ट्रास्ट दवा दी जानी है, तो जांच से पहले 4–6 घंटे का उपवास करना पड़ सकता है। कृपया अपने डॉक्टर या डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर के निर्देशों का पालन करें।
यदि डॉक्टर ने मना न किया हो, तो जांच से पहले पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएँ।
आरामदायक कपड़े पहनकर आएँ तथा दाएँ अग्रबाहु (फोरआर्म) और हाथ से घड़ी, कंगन, अंगूठियाँ, रिस्टबैंड या अन्य धातु की वस्तुएँ हटा दें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले रेडियोग्राफर को इसकी जानकारी अवश्य दें।
यदि आपको कॉन्ट्रास्ट डाई से एलर्जी, अस्थमा, किडनी की बीमारी, मधुमेह, थायरॉयड की समस्या, या पहले कभी कॉन्ट्रास्ट इंजेक्शन से प्रतिक्रिया हुई हो, तो इसकी जानकारी पहले से दें।
अपने डॉक्टर का रेफरल तथा दाएँ फोरआर्म से संबंधित सभी पुरानी एक्स-रे, सीटी, एमआरआई, अल्ट्रासाउंड या अन्य ऑर्थोपेडिक जांच रिपोर्टें साथ लेकर आएँ।
डॉक्टर की सलाह के अनुसार अपनी नियमित दवाइयाँ लेते रहें। यदि आप मधुमेह की दवा (जैसे Metformin) लेते हैं, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजी टीम को अवश्य दें।
यदि हाल ही में फोरआर्म की सर्जरी हुई हो या धातु की प्लेट, स्क्रू, पिन, रॉड, प्लास्टर या अन्य इम्प्लांट लगे हों, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोग्राफर को दें।
पंजीकरण, आवश्यक जांच और कॉन्ट्रास्ट की तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 20–30 मिनट पहले केंद्र पर पहुँचें।
The patient is positioned lying comfortably on the CT scanner table with the right forearm placed in the scanning field according to the radiographer's instructions.
An intravenous (IV) contrast agent is administered when required to improve visualisation of the bones, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, joints, and surrounding soft tissues.
Thin-slice Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) images of the right forearm are obtained to evaluate the radius, ulna, elbow joint, wrist joint, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and adjacent soft tissues.
The scan helps assess complex fractures, bone lesions, infections, inflammatory conditions, soft tissue injuries, vascular abnormalities, tumours, post-traumatic changes, and post-surgical complications.
You may feel a brief warm sensation or a metallic taste in your mouth when the contrast is injected. This is normal and usually subsides within a few minutes.
You will be asked to remain completely still during image acquisition to ensure clear, high-quality images.
Additional delayed images may be obtained if required for a more comprehensive evaluation.
The examination is non-invasive, and the CT scan itself usually takes 10–15 minutes, while the overall appointment, including contrast preparation, may take 30–45 minutes.
After the scan, you may be advised to drink plenty of fluids to help eliminate the contrast material from your body unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
Reports are generally available within 04 hours*.
