MRI BRAIN WITH PNS

MRI Brain with PNS

An MRI Brain with PNS (Paranasal Sinuses) scan is a comprehensive imaging examination that evaluates both the brain and the paranasal sinus cavities in a single study. This advanced MRI scan provides highly detailed images of the brain, brain tissues, blood vessels, nerves, and sinus structures without exposing patients to ionizing radiation.

The paranasal sinuses are air-filled spaces located around the nose and eyes, including the frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses. Combining brain and sinus imaging allows doctors to investigate symptoms that may involve both neurological and sinus-related causes, such as chronic headaches, facial pain, dizziness, recurrent sinus infections, vision disturbances, and unexplained neurological complaints.

MRI Brain with PNS is useful for detecting brain abnormalities, sinus inflammation, sinus infections, polyps, cysts, tumors, congenital abnormalities, and other conditions affecting the head and facial region.

Benefits of the Test

• Evaluates both the brain and paranasal sinuses in a single examination.
• Detects neurological and sinus-related abnormalities.
• Helps diagnose chronic headaches and facial pain.
• Identifies sinus infections, inflammation, and sinus blockages.
• Detects tumors, cysts, and structural abnormalities.
• Provides excellent soft tissue visualization.
• Non-invasive and radiation-free imaging procedure.
• Supports accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Why Doctors Recommend This Test

Doctors may recommend an MRI Brain with PNS scan for patients experiencing chronic headaches, recurrent sinus infections, facial pain, dizziness, vision disturbances, nasal obstruction, neurological symptoms, unexplained facial swelling, or suspected brain and sinus abnormalities. It is also useful for evaluating tumors, infections, inflammatory conditions, and complications involving both the brain and sinus regions.

Preparation Before the Test

• Wear comfortable clothing without metallic accessories.
• Remove jewelry, watches, hearing aids, and other metal objects.
• Inform the radiology team about pacemakers, implants, or surgical clips.
• Notify your doctor if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy.
• Follow any instructions regarding contrast administration if required.
• Inform staff if you have claustrophobia.

Normal Reporting Time

Most MRI Brain with PNS reports at Focus Diagnostics are available within 1–2 hours after completion of the examination. Complex neurological cases may require additional specialist review.
