Sinus CT Scan

CT Scan of the Sinuses

Sinus screening is intended as an inexpensive, accurate, and low radiation dose method for confirming the presence of inflammatory sinosnasal disease. Endoscopic sinus surgery is necessary if patient is confirmed with this disease, the coronal images provide a roadmap for the surgeon. When the clinical indication is recurrent or chronic sinusitis, the study is done without intravenous contrast media and scanning is taken in the coronal plane. Other clinical indications may require the administration of intravenous contrast or additional scans in the axial plane.
