What is a CT PNS Without Contrast?
A CT PNS (Para Nasal Sinus) Scan Without Contrast uses X-rays and computer technology to capture cross-sectional images of your sinus cavities. Unlike a contrast-enhanced scan, it does not require any injection of contrast material, which means it’s faster, simpler, and more comfortable for most patients.
The scan provides a clear picture of:
- Inflammation or infection in the sinuses
- Deviation of the nasal septum
- Bone fractures or structural issues
- Sinus tumors or cysts
- Airway obstruction or chronic sinus problems
Why is a CT PNS Scan Done?
Doctors may recommend a CT Scan of Para Nasal Sinuses Without Contrast if you experience:
- Frequent sinus headaches or facial pain
- Nasal congestion or blocked nose for long periods
- Recurrent sinus infections
- Post-nasal drip or breathing difficulty
- Suspected polyps or cysts in the sinus region
This scan helps determine the root cause of your sinus symptoms and plan appropriate treatment or surgery if required.
How is the Test Performed?
- You’ll be asked to lie still on a CT scanning table.
- The scanner rotates around your head, capturing multiple X-ray images.
- No contrast dye or injection is needed.
- The entire process usually takes 5–10 minutes.
It’s completely painless and non-invasive, and you can resume normal activities immediately after the test.
Preparation for CT PNS Without Contrast
- No fasting or special preparation is required.
- Remove any metallic items (like jewelry, glasses, or hairpins) before the scan.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or have any medical conditions.
