CT Brain & PNS Plain Hyderabad | Focus Diagnostics

What is CT Brain & PNS Plain?

CT Brain and PNS Plain is a non-contrast computed tomography examination that produces detailed images of the brain and paranasal sinuses. It uses X-rays and computer processing to create cross-sectional images that help doctors evaluate the structures of the head and sinus cavities without injecting contrast material.

Why is CT Brain & PNS Plain Performed?

A doctor may recommend this scan to investigate symptoms or suspected conditions involving the brain and paranasal sinuses. The examination helps assess structural changes, sinus abnormalities and other findings that may require further clinical evaluation.

What Can the Scan Help Evaluate?

• Structural abnormalities of the brain
• Suspected bleeding or certain head injuries
• Changes in brain structures that require imaging assessment
• Paranasal sinus inflammation or sinusitis
• Sinus opacification and fluid accumulation
• Nasal and sinus anatomical variations
• Other abnormalities involving the sinus cavities

How is the Scan Performed?

The patient lies on the CT scanner table, usually with the head positioned carefully inside the scanner. Images of the brain and paranasal sinuses are acquired using X-rays from different angles. As this is a plain scan, intravenous contrast is generally not required. The patient needs to remain still during image acquisition to help obtain clear images.

Preparation Before the Scan

• Inform the radiology team about your symptoms and relevant medical history.
• Bring previous CT or MRI reports and images, if available.
• Inform the team if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.
• Remove jewellery, hair accessories or other metal objects around the head when instructed.
• Follow the instructions provided by the diagnostic centre.
