FAQs

Can it help evaluate suspected tumors?

Yes. Contrast-enhanced CT can provide information about the location, size, enhancement, and local extent of a suspected sinonasal tumor. MRI may be recommended for more detailed soft-tissue characterization.

Can CECT PNS detect complicated or invasive infections?

Yes. It can help evaluate complicated or invasive sinus infections and assess whether disease has extended into surrounding structures such as the orbit or skull base.

Should I inform the radiology team about kidney disease or previous contrast reactions?

Yes. Inform the medical team about kidney disease, previous reactions to iodinated contrast, allergies, pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid conditions, and other relevant medical conditions before contrast administration.

Do I need any preparation before CECT PNS?

Preparation depends on whether contrast is used. You may be asked to fast for a specified period before the examination. Follow the preparation instructions provided by the diagnostic centre.
