Overview

If you experience sinus complications for a prolonged time frame or multiple sinus complications at once, then additional forms of imaging will need to be done to identify the possible cause. One of the most common advanced imaging tools utilised by physicians is called a CECT PNS Coronal. A CECT PNS Coronal is one of the most effective forms of diagnosis for finding answers when it comes to evaluating sinusoid-related issues in-depth.

At City Imaging, our goal is to provide patients with safe, accurate diagnoses through patient-centered diagnostic testing services. The price point associated with a CECT PNS Coronal ranges from INR 4,000 to INR 7,000.

What is a CECT PNS Coronal Test?

A CECT of the Paranasal Sinuses in the Coronal View (CECT PNS Coronal) is an imaging technique that uses contrast dye to generate a clear coronal image of the inner anatomy of the Paranasal sinus cavity. The Paranasal sinuses are air-filled passages in the area surrounding the nose, eyes, and forehead that connect to the nasal passage and help in the respiratory process, in the filtration process of the air we breathe and enhance our voice. The coronal view is a critical view to be able to assess because it mimics the view that a surgeon would have while performing sinus surgery.
