Paranasal sinuses CT scan
Paranasal sinuses CT scan
The essence of the ongoing study, computer tomography (CT) of the paranasal sinuses, is a mathematical modeling of the internal structure of the paranasal sinuses (maxillary sinus, frontal sinus, etc.) and its surrounding structures as a result of exposure to the x-ray.
CT can visualize the structure of the paranasal sinuses, the level of fluid in them in the form of images in different planes.
Paranasal sinuses CT scan allows get a series of thin sections, to construct three-dimensional reconstruction of the examined area of the cavity and to identify abnormalities or injury. This reconstruction provides invaluable assistance to the ENT physicians in planning the treatment of sinusitis, ethmoiditis, maxillary sinusitis, frontal sinusitis and for follow-up.
In some cases can appoint examination - computed tomography (CT) of paranasal sinuses:
- traumatic brain injury
- trauma of the nose and paranasal sinuses
- inflammation of the paranasal sinuses (sinusitis, frontal sinusitis, sphenoidal, ethmoiditis, etc.)
- liquorrhea in fractures of the skull base
- primary and secondary tumors with invasion into the sinus etc.
