Understanding CECT Scan PNS - Axial & Coronal View

What is CECT Scan PNS - Axial & Coronal View?

CECT scan of PNS is a CT (Computed Tomography) scan of the Para Nasal Sinus (PNS). It is a non-invasive imaging technique used to diagnose inflammation, tumour, fluid accumulation in the sinus, fracture, trauma, or increase in tissue thickness.

In the test, the patient is made to wear loose clothes, take off all metallic items from the body, and lay down on a table. Different views of the PNS can be obtained in this test, like coronal (front and back view) and axial (top and bottom view).
