In this blog, we will discuss about NCCT PNS, what it shows, tests for PNS. We will also discuss some questions related to NCCT PNS.
PNS (Para nasal Sinus) NCCT (Non contrast computed tomography) or NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) is non-invasive radiological tool which uses X-rays for the detection of abnormalities in the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) and surrounding area. NCCT uses X-rays to create the 3D images of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) by taking picture though various angles and processed by computer. NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) is used to look for various abnormalities of the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) like muscle issues, bone issues, soft tissues, fractures, dislocations etc. In some cases healthcare expert suggests for contrast CT scan PNS (Para nasal Sinus) and that is called CECT PNS (Para nasal Sinus). CECT is contrast enhanced computed tomography PNS (Para nasal Sinus) which gives more clear and detailed images of the PNS (Para nasal Sinus).
NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus)
Any abnormality in any part of the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) can be detected by the NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus). CT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) test can detect injuries, dislocations, arthritis, fractures etc. in the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) for the diagnosis purpose. PNS (Para nasal Sinus) is the air filled cavities in the skull of the located around nasal cavity.
PNS (Para nasal Sinus) Abnormalities Causes
Various causes which can lead to the abnormalities in the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) are:
Fracture
Fracture can be broken bones in the skull around the nasal cavity and the ligaments which are responsible for the attachment of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) bone. There are various causes which can lead to fracture like falls, accidents, fighting etc. to the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) bone.
Injury
Injury can be due to anything like accident, fall, punch, fighting or hitting PNS (Para nasal with some solid material which can result PNS (Para nasal Sinus) injury etc.
Dislocation
Dislocation in PNS (Para nasal Sinus) bone leads to the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) abnormality by dislocating the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) bone and is one of the main causes to go for NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus).
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis can weaken the bones in and around the nasal cavity of the skull. The reason for the osteoporosis may be nutritional deficiency, vitamin deficiency, age factor etc. Weakening of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) bones can be painful and make the structure around the nose and eyes very fragile and weak.
Inflammation
This condition can make it difficult for a person to breathe through nose due to inflammation if PNS (Para nasal Sinus) bone and surrounding area.
List the Purpose of NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus)
NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) can detect various abnormalities.
- Reason of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) pain
- To look for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) ligaments
- To guide for the biopsies in the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) etc.
- Helps in treatment guidance for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) abnormalities
- Detecting foreign bodies in the PNS (Para nasal Sinus)
- To look for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) injury
- To look for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) muscles
- To look for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) tendons
- To look for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) dislocations
- To look for blood vessels of PNS (Para nasal Sinus)
Tests Used to Detect PNS (Para nasal Sinus) Abnormalities
There are various types of tests used to check for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) diseases and these include:
- CT PNS SCAN (Book Now)
- X-Ray PNS (Book Now)
- NCCT PNS Sagittal (Book Now)
- CECT PNS Coronal (Book Now)
- MRI PNS Screening (Book Now)
Conclusion
PNS (Para nasal Sinus) is the air filled cavities within the skull located around nasal cavity. Any abnormality in the PNS (Para nasal Sinus) bone can lead to the abnormalities in the hand and there are various tests used for the detection of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) abnormalities. NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) or computed tomography PNS (Para nasal Sinus) is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) abnormalities. This helps in easy and early detection of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) abnormalities as compared to simple PNS (Para nasal Sinus) X-rays. NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) help to provide the enhanced pictures of the Paranasal cavity. CT can also be used with contrast called contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) PNS (Para nasal Sinus). Various abnormality detected by PNS (Para nasal Sinus) CECT are muscle abnormalities of PNS (Para nasal Sinus), bone abnormalities, lymph node abnormalities, helps for treatment etc.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the full form of NCCT PNS?
NCCT stands for Non Contrast Computed Tomography and PNS stands for Paranasal Sinus.
What is NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) scan?
NCCT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) scan is the diagnostic procedure that uses X-rays with computed for the detection of abnormalities in the PNS (Para nasal Sinus).
Can NCCT PNS detect injuries?
Yes, NCCT PNS can detect injuries.
Can NCCT PNS detect fractures in Paranasal cavity?
Yes, PNS is effective tool in detecting PNS fractures.
What is NCCT PNS used to detect?
NCCT PNS is used to detect various abnormalities like to look for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) injury, PNS muscles, tendons or to look for PNS (Para nasal Sinus) dislocations etc.
What is CT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) scan with contrast?
CT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) scan with contrast is also called CECT PNS (Para nasal Sinus) is a diagnostic tool in which contrast material is used for the detection of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) abnormalities. Most common contrast used is iodine based and helps in more detailed images of PNS (Para nasal Sinus).
What are the causes of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) abnormalities?
There are various causes of PNS (Para nasal Sinus) abnormalities and these include injuries, infections, dislocations, fractures etc.
