CT Sinus

A CT scan of the sinuses, often referred to as a sinus CT or sinus CT scan, is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to visualize the sinuses within the head and face. This imaging technique provides detailed information about the anatomy, structure, and any abnormalities in the paranasal sinuses. A sinus CT scan is primarily employed to diagnose and assess sinus-related conditions, including sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), nasal polyps, sinus cysts, structural abnormalities (such as deviated septum), and sinus tumours. It helps in identifying the location and extent of these conditions, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring treatment progress.

In clinical practice, a sinus CT scan is an essential tool for ENT specialists and radiologists in diagnosing and managing sinus disorders. It provides crucial insights into the sinus anatomy and any pathology affecting the sinuses. For example, it helps determine the presence of inflammation, mucus buildup, or blockages within the sinuses, which can be indicative of sinusitis. It also aids in evaluating the nasal passages, septum, and surrounding structures, helping to identify issues like nasal polyps or deviated septum. By offering detailed views of the sinuses, a sinus CT scan plays a critical role in ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate medical or surgical management for individuals with sinus-related symptoms or conditions, such as chronic sinusitis or sinus headaches.
