What is a HRCT SCAN PNS CORONAL, AXIAL AND SAGITTAL VIEW Test in Visit Clinic?

An HRCT scan of the paranasal sinuses creates high-resolution images of the sinuses, nasal passages, and surrounding bone. It shows air-filled spaces, mucosal swelling, fluid, polyps, bone detail, and anatomical variations. This helps detect sinus infections, chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, tumors, and fractures. Doctors use it to plan surgery, guide treatment decisions, and check for complications. The scan is faster and more detailed than a plain X-ray. It can also show spread into nearby areas like the eye socket or skull base. A radiologist reviews the images and provides a report to help your clinician choose the best care.

HRCT SCAN PNS CORONAL, AXIAL AND SAGITTAL VIEW Test Parameters in Visit Clinic

The HRCT SCAN PNS CORONAL, AXIAL AND SAGITTAL VIEW test evaluates various parameters. Here are the main parameters checked:

  • Single test

Why Take a HRCT SCAN PNS CORONAL, AXIAL AND SAGITTAL VIEW Test in Visit Clinic?

HRCT SCAN PNS CORONAL, AXIAL AND SAGITTAL VIEW is ordered as an imaging study for ENT or head and neck evaluation. Doctors request it for chronic nasal blockage, recurrent sinus infections, facial pain, loss of smell, trauma, or suspected polyps or tumors. It helps diagnose sinusitis, anatomical blockages, fractures, and masses. Abnormal results may come from infection, allergies, structural variation, trauma, or growths; family history of recurrent sinus disease or nasal polyps can make earlier testing useful.

What is a PNS axial coronal sagittal CT scan in Visit Clinic?plus

A PNS axial coronal sagittal CT scan is a computed tomography study of the paranasal sinuses acquired in three planes: axial (top‑down), coronal (front‑back) and sagittal (side). It provides detailed bone and soft‑tissue anatomy to diagnose sinusitis, mucosal thickening, polyps, fractures, congenital variants, and extent of disease for surgical planning. It offers higher resolution than plain X‑rays for sinus evaluation.

What is axial, sagittal, and coronal in Visit Clinic?plus

Axial (transverse) plane cuts the body horizontally, separating superior (head) and inferior (feet) parts. Sagittal plane divides the body into left and right; the midsagittal (median) plane runs down the midline, while parasagittal planes are off-center. Coronal (frontal) plane slices vertically, separating anterior (front) and posterior (back) portions. These are standard anatomical reference planes.

What is the difference between axial and coronal CT scan in Visit Clinic?plus

Axial (transverse) CT produces horizontal slices from head to toe, giving cross-sectional views useful for organ relationships and routine trauma or chest/abdominal imaging. Coronal CT produces vertical slices dividing front and back, showing frontal anatomy and alignment—helpful for sinuses, facial bones, spine and surgical planning. Modern CT often reformats axial data into coronal images for complementary perspectives.

What is a sagittal view on a CT scan in Visit Clinic?plus

A sagittal view on a CT scan is an imaging plane that slices the body front-to-back into left and right portions. It produces side-profile images — midsagittal shows the exact midline, parasagittal is off-center — useful for evaluating the brain, spine, joints, and organs in anterior–posterior depth, showing relationships between structures from a lateral perspective.

What is the cost of CT PNS scan in Visit Clinic?plus

A CT PNS scan’s cost varies by country and facility. Typical ranges: India ₹1,000–₹6,000 for non‑contrast (higher with contrast); UK private £150–£600 (NHS covers when clinically indicated); US $300–$2,500+ depending on facility and insurance. Prices depend on contrast use, hospital vs clinic, reporting fees and city. Confirm exact charges with local imaging centers and your insurer.

Can a CT PNS scan detect tumors in Visit Clinic?plus

Yes. A CT PNS (paranasal sinuses) scan can detect masses or tumors, show size, location and bony destruction, and help stage extent. It’s excellent for bone detail; however MRI is superior for soft‑tissue characterization, intracranial or perineural spread. CT may not definitively distinguish tumor from inflammatory polyps—contrast imaging, MRI and biopsy are often needed for diagnosis.
