CT PNS CORONAL ONLY

Description

CT PNS CORONAL ONLY is a specialized computed tomography scan of the paranasal sinuses that focuses solely on providing images in the coronal (vertical) plane. This specific view is particularly effective in evaluating the osteomeatal complex, which is crucial for sinus drainage. The coronal plane offers excellent visualization of the relationship between the sinuses and the nasal cavity, making it ideal for assessing conditions like nasal polyps and deviated septum. While it doesn’t provide the comprehensive view of a dual-plane scan, CT PNS CORONAL ONLY is often sufficient for many sinus evaluations and can be preferred when minimizing radiation exposure is a priority. It’s commonly used in follow-up scans and for specific sinus conditions where the coronal view provides the most relevant information.
