PNS CT Scan and Its Uses

In this article, we will discuss the uses of CT PNS in detecting the PNS abnormalities. We will also discuss some common questions related to CT PNS.

PNS CT (computed tomography) or CT scan PNS is non-invasive radiological tool which uses X-rays for the detection of abnormalities in the Paranasal sinus cavity and associated tissues and bones. CT PNS is the procedure that uses X-rays with the help of computer system and creates 3D images of the Paranasal sinus. These images are more detailed and clear than simple X-rays and can help in detection of Paranasal abnormalities easy and early. There are various conditions which can be detected by CT PNS scan like PNS fracture, injuries, infection, inflammation, nasal polyps, tumors, structural deformations etc.

What is PNS CT?

PNS (Paranasal sinus) CT (Computed Tomography) is the non invasive diagnostic technique which uses X-rays for the detection of Paranasal abnormalities. CT PNS is diagnostic tool like MRI and PET CT which helps to capture the cross sectional images of the PNS and provides detailed overview of the PNS and its abnormalities. Various abnormalities detected by CT PNS include nasal polyps, tumors, injuries, fractures, tissue damage etc.

What is PNS CT with Contrast (CECT PNS)?

PNS CT is the advanced procedure of the simple CT PNS. In contrast CT, iodine based contrast is used for the detection of Paranasal abnormalities. Contrast used CT procedure give more clear images of Paranasal sinus and helps to generate images with more clarity. This helps in easy and early detection of PNS abnormalities for effective and early treatment.

What are the Uses of CT PNS?

There are various uses of PNS CT scan and these uses include:

  • It is used to check  for nasal polyps
  • It is used to check for Paranasal tumor
  • It is used to check for structural abnormalities
  • It is used to check for bone fractures and bone  deformations
  • It is used to check for congenital disorders
  • It is used to check the effect of treatment
  • It is used to check for tissue abnormalities

Which tests are Used to Check for the PNS Diseases?

There are various types of tests used to check for PNS diseases and these include:

Conclusion

PNS (Paranasal sinus) CT (computed tomography) is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of abnormalities in the PNS like nasal poly, tumors, PNS fractures, bone injury, bone dislocations, infections etc.  CT PNS process uses X-rays with computer technology and takes the pictures at various angles for clarity and with more description to get the condition easily detected. CT PNS is also done with the contrast material, this is also called CECT PNS or contrast enhanced computed tomography. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is CT PNS scan?

CT PNS scan is the diagnostic procedure that uses X-rays with computed tomography for the detection of abnormalities in the PNS.
