A CT PNS (Paranasal Sinuses) – Axial + Coronal (Plain) is a Computed Tomography (CT) scan that provides detailed images of the paranasal sinuses in two planes:

• Axial View: Horizontal cross-sections of the sinuses.

This scan helps diagnose:

  • Sinus infections (sinusitis)
  • Nasal blockages, polyps, or tumors
  • Deviated nasal septum
  • Fractures or trauma to the sinuses
  • Congenital sinus abnormalities
