What can CT Scan PNS Axial help detect?

It helps diagnose sinusitis, polyps, structural blockage, fractures, and masses. Abnormal results come from infection, chronic inflammation, trauma, or growths. A family history of chronic sinus disease or congenital conditions may make this imaging more likely to be recommended.

What do CT Scan PNS Axial results mean?

An imaging report describes what the scan shows and whether it is normal or reveals a specific finding. A qualified radiologist interprets the images, and your doctor explains what any finding means for you and whether a further test or treatment is needed. The FAQs below cover what this scan can and cannot show.

How often should CT Scan PNS Axial be repeated?

For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends, typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.
