Hello everyone,
I wanted to share some useful information about the
CT PNS Scan and why it is commonly recommended for sinus-related problems.
A CT PNS Scan (Computed Tomography of Paranasal Sinuses) is an imaging test used to examine the sinus cavities in detail. It helps doctors detect issues like sinus infections, blockages, nasal polyps, and other sinus conditions.
Why is CT PNS Scan Done?
Doctors usually recommend a CT PNS Scan for:
Chronic sinus infection
Nasal blockage or breathing issues
Headaches caused by sinus problems
Planning sinus surgery
Procedure
You lie on a table that moves into the CT scanner
The machine takes detailed images of your sinuses
The test is quick and usually takes 5–10 minutes
Key Benefits

A CT PNS Scan is very helpful in diagnosing sinus problems early and getting the right treatment on time.
