CT SCAN BRAIN & PNS

Paranasal Sinuses (PNS) are vital for skull function, voice resonance, and air conditioning. CT scans, a non-invasive and rapid diagnostic tool, help identify conditions like sinusitis, polyps, and tumors. Classified into anterior (frontal, anterior ethmoidal, maxillary) and posterior (posterior ethmoidal, sphenoid) groups, PNS evaluations are crucial for effective treatment. Preparation involves fasting (if contrast is used) and disclosing medications, allergies, or implants. During the procedure, metallic elements are removed, and contrast may be used for clarity. Post-scan, observation for contrast side effects, hydration, and result evaluation occur. Despite low radiation, concerns include allergic reactions, contrast-induced issues, and potential radiation risks. Hypro Diagnostics, specializing in consulting and advanced treatment, offers a valuable addition to comprehensive care.
