CT Scan for Sinus Infection in Pune | CT PNS Scan

CT Scan for Sinus Infection in Pune is an advanced imaging test used to evaluate infections and inflammation affecting the sinus cavities. Doctors commonly recommend CT scan when patients experience persistent sinus symptoms such as nasal blockage, facial pain, headaches or recurrent sinus infections.

The scan produces detailed images of the sinus cavities located around the nose, cheeks, eyes and forehead. These images help doctors detect sinus inflammation, blockage, infection or structural abnormalities affecting the sinuses.

Doctors typically perform a CT PNS Scan (CT Paranasal Sinus Scan) to evaluate sinus infections and chronic sinusitis.

At Texas Imaging & Labs in Kharadi Pune, CT sinus scans are performed using advanced Siemens CT technology with expert radiologist interpretation for accurate diagnosis.

What is CT Scan for Sinus Infection?

CT scan for sinus infection is a specialised imaging study used to evaluate the paranasal sinuses. These sinuses are air-filled cavities located around the nose, cheeks, forehead and behind the eyes.

The scan produces detailed cross-sectional images that help doctors identify sinus inflammation, infection, blockage or structural abnormalities affecting the sinus passages.

When is CT Scan advised for Sinus Infection?

Doctors may recommend CT scan in situations such as:

• Chronic sinusitis
• Recurrent sinus infections
• Persistent nasal blockage
• Facial pain or pressure
• Evaluation before sinus surgery
• Assessment of sinus polyps

CT scan helps ENT specialists determine the severity of sinus disease and plan appropriate treatment.

CT Scan for Chronic Sinusitis

Chronic sinusitis occurs when the sinus cavities remain inflamed for a prolonged period. CT scan helps doctors identify:

• Blocked sinus drainage pathways
• Thickened sinus lining
• Fluid accumulation in sinus cavities
• Sinus polyps
• Structural abnormalities

ENT specialists often use CT scan findings to plan treatment or procedures such as Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS).

CT Scan vs X-Ray for Sinus Infection

Although sinus X-rays were used earlier, CT scan provides much more detailed imaging of the sinus cavities.

Feature	CT Scan	X-Ray

Evaluation before sinus surgery	Preferred	Not ideal
Sinus anatomy assessment	Excellent	Limited

Because of its superior accuracy, CT scan is now considered the preferred imaging method for evaluating sinus disease.
