Schedule an NCCT PNS examination at a diagnostic centre by the leading institute of CT and Radiology services, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, which is an NABL- and NABH-accredited facility, to get a detailed evaluation of the paranasal sinuses and surrounding facial structures. Non-Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT) of the Paranasal Sinuses (PNS) is a radiographic study that produces high-quality images of the sinus cavity, nasal passages, facial bones, and other adjacent structures. It can assist in analyzing sinusitis, nasal blockage, chronic sinus complaints, polyps, anatomical abnormalities, trauma, and other abnormalities of the nose and paranasal sinus area.

About NCCT PNS

NCCT PNS is a special computed tomography (CT) scan of the sinuses around the nose that doctors can use to identify problems of the paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, and adjacent facial structures. It has excellent differentiation of the sinus cavities and bone elements and may be the preferred imaging modality to evaluate the sinuses when more detailed information of the sinus is necessary for chronic or recurrent sinus complaints. This examination can be useful in identifying inflammation and an accumulation of fluids or mucus, obstruction of the sinus drainage pathways, abnormalities in the paranasal sinuses, and other diseases affecting the sinuses.

What is NCCT PNS?

NCCT PNS is computed tomography (CT) performed on the paranasal sinuses. It is an excellent modality for imaging the bony structures and sinus anatomy. The scan can reveal the condition of the frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses, the cavity of the nose, and the surrounding structures of the face.

Common Reasons for NCCT PNS

• Persistent or recurrent sinus-related symptoms
• Nasal blockage or difficulty breathing through the nose
• Facial pain, pressure, or heaviness
• Suspected chronic or recurrent sinusitis, or acute sinusitis with complications or no response to treatment.
• Evaluation of sinus drainage pathway obstruction
• Assessment of nasal polyps or other soft tissue changes
• Evaluation before selected sinus or nasal surgery
• Assessment of facial or sinus trauma
• Further evaluation of abnormalities seen on other imaging

Conditions Evaluated

Sinusitis

NCCT PNS can help identify mucosal thickening, fluid accumulation, opacification, and other changes associated with sinus inflammation.

Chronic Sinus Disease

The examination provides detailed anatomical information that can help evaluate persistent or recurrent sinus problems and associated structural changes.

Nasal Polyps

CT imaging can help identify soft tissue changes within the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses that may be associated with polyps.

Sinus Drainage Obstruction

The scan can assess the pathways through which the sinuses normally drain and help identify anatomical narrowing or obstruction.

Anatomical Variations

NCCT PNS can illustrate differences in sinus and nasal morphology that could cause symptoms and/or serve as pertinent for surgical planning.

Facial and Sinus Trauma

The examination provides detailed visualization of facial bones and can help identify fractures or other traumatic changes involving the sinus region.

Benefits of NCCT PNS

• Detailed evaluation of the paranasal sinuses
• Excellent visualization of sinus and facial bone anatomy
• Helps identify sinus inflammation and obstruction
• Useful for evaluating chronic and recurrent sinus conditions
• Supports preoperative planning for selected procedures
• Fast and widely available imaging examination
• Provides high-resolution cross-sectional images
