FAQs

What is MRI PNS – Contrast?

MRI PNS – Contrast (Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Paranasal Sinuses with Contrast) is an advanced MRI examination that evaluates the paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, surrounding soft tissues, orbit (eye socket), skull base, and adjacent structures using a gadolinium-based contrast agent. It provides detailed images to help diagnose a wide range of sinus and nasal conditions.

Why is MRI PNS – Contrast performed?

This examination is performed to diagnose or evaluate persistent sinus infections (sinusitis), chronic sinus disease, nasal or sinus tumors, polyps, fungal infections, cysts, inflammatory conditions, facial swelling, orbital involvement, skull base abnormalities, and postoperative changes.

Can MRI PNS – Contrast detect sinus infections?

Yes. It can accurately identify sinus infections, chronic inflammation, fungal sinusitis, abscesses, and complications involving nearby soft tissues or the orbit.

. Can MRI PNS – Contrast detect tumors?

Yes. Contrast-enhanced MRI is highly effective in evaluating benign and malignant tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, including their size, extent, and spread to surrounding tissues.

What is the difference between MRI PNS and CT PNS?

CT PNS provides excellent evaluation of the bony anatomy of the sinuses, while MRI PNS offers superior visualization of soft tissues, tumors, inflammation, infections, nerves, and disease extending beyond the sinuses. Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate examination based on your condition.
