What is a CECT PNS Axial scan?
A CECT PNS Axial scan is an advanced imaging procedure that uses X-rays and contrast dye to produce detailed images of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities in an axial view. The scan highlights abnormalities, infections, or blockages in the sinus region. It is commonly used to diagnose sinus infections, tumors, or structural issues that affect breathing.
Why is a CECT PNS Axial scan done?
This scan is performed to:
- Diagnose chronic sinus infections or inflammations.
- Detects polyps, cysts, or tumors in the paranasal sinuses.
- Evaluate sinus blockages or structural abnormalities.
- Plan surgeries, such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).
- Assess unexplained facial pain, headaches, or nasal congestion.
How to prepare for a CECT PNS Axial scan?
To prepare for the scan:
- Remove jewelry or metallic objects near the face and head.
- Fast for 4-6 hours before the procedure, if instructed.
- Inform the technician about any allergies to contrast dye or pre-existing medical conditions.
- Notify your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Procedure
The steps for a CECT PNS Axial Scan include:
- You will lie on the CT scan table with your head positioned correctly for axial imaging.
- A contrast dye may be injected to enhance the visibility of sinus structures.
- The CT scanner rotates around your head, capturing high-resolution axial images of the paranasal sinuses.
- You must remain still during the scan to ensure clear and accurate results.
The procedure is painless and takes around 15-20 minutes.
Aftercare
