Spiral CT Scan of P. N. S. Price in Bangladesh

What is Spiral CT Scan of P. N. S.?

A Spiral CT Scan of the Paranasal Sinuses (P.N.S.) is an imaging procedure that uses X-rays to obtain detailed, cross-sectional images of the sinuses, which are air-filled cavities located around the nose, eyes, and forehead.

This scan is typically used to diagnose conditions like chronic sinusitis, sinus infections, tumors, or structural issues such as a deviated septum. During the procedure, you lie on a table while the CT scanner rotates around your head, capturing multiple images.

No special preparation is usually needed, but you may be asked to remove jewelry. Risks include radiation exposure and potential reactions to contrast material, if used.

The results assist in guiding treatment decisions.

What to expect & how to prepare

A CT scanner takes many X-ray images from different angles and combines them into cross-sectional pictures. You lie on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner.

• Contrast: some CT studies use an iodine-based contrast injection and some do not. If contrast is planned, the centre may ask you to avoid food for a few hours and to bring a recent kidney function report.
• Tell the staff: mention kidney disease, diabetes medicines such as metformin, asthma, previous reaction to contrast, or any allergy before the scan.
• Metal: jewellery and metallic items in the scan area are removed; you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: a plain CT without contrast normally needs no fasting — confirm with the centre which type is booked for you.

CT uses ionising radiation, at a higher dose than a plain X-ray. Tell the staff if you are pregnant or think you might be, so the request can be reviewed.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request.
