MRI For PNS
MRI PNS (Paranasal Sinuses) is an advanced imaging procedure designed to detail the paranasal sinus areas offered by Medifyhome. This non-invasive scan captures high resolution images of sinus cavities, nasal passages, and surrounding structures that help diagnose any kind of sinusitis, cysts, polyps, and structural abnormalities. This particular test is more helpful in patients with chronic sinus symptoms or before undergoing surgeries on the sinuses because they provide detailed information without causing radiation exposure to the patient. Medifyhome holds comfort and accuracy of our patients above all; thus, we offer scan guided by experts with flexible scheduling, along with competitive cost options for MRI PNS, that makes quality diagnostic imaging more accessible and affordable. Trust Medifyhome experience practitioners and the latest in imaging technology to assist with accurate diagnosis and proper management of sinus and nasal health.
What is MRI PNS?
MRI PNS is a type of non-invasive radiological imaging test that takes clear images of the paranasal sinuses and nasal passages along with all the surrounding areas. It doesn’t use radiation like computed tomography scans, thereby making it safer for medical diagnosis of sinus-related complications such as chronic sinusitis, polyps, cysts, and structural malformations. This means that the doctors can develop an accurate insight into what is happening in the case of sinus health, to diagnose and plan the further treatment.
Why is MRI PNS Performed?
- It Diagnoses chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, cysts, and other sinus abnormalities.
- To evaluate the structural defects inside the sinuses that might cause breathing problems.
- To assess inflammation or infections in the paranasal sinuses.
- These will provide more in-depth pictures for the mapping of sinus-related surgeries and treatments.
Benefits of MRI PNS Over Other Imaging Techniques
Higher Soft Tissue Resolution: MRI PNS imaging has much higher soft tissue resolution than CT; it is, therefore, the modality of choice in diagnosing sinusitis, infections, or tumors located within and around the sinuses.
1.No Radiation: The major advantage of MRI PNS over CT scans is the absence of radiation; thus, the examination can be repeated and used in both children and pregnant women.
2.Magnetic Resonance Imaging Paranasal Sinuses and Orbit: Magnetic resonance imaging scans of the paranasal sinuses and orbit are superior tests used to view soft tissues and nerves. They also show blood vessels clearly. Thus, the MRI of PNS allows for more detailed evaluation of complex sinus and nasal conditions. It provides a better discrimination of abnormalities:
3.Abnormal Tissue Changes: Tissue changes of various kinds are appropriately deciphered by MRI, thereby helping to evaluate cysts, tumors, and inflammations of the sinus with a high degree of specificity.
Conditions Detected by MRI PNS Scan
An MRI PNS scan is an excellent diagnostic tool for a wide range of paranasal sinus and surrounding structures diseases. It would provide good images that are meant for assessing the health of the sinus and any pathology, which could be contributing to the airway or sinus problem. These include; chronic sinusitis, defined as a persistent inflammation of the sinuses; and nasal polyps, being benign growths inside the nasal cavity.
- Mucous retention cysts (fluid-filled sacs in the sinuses)
- Sinus tumors or masses
- Deviated nasal septum (nasal septum is shifted off center)
- Fungal infections in the sinuses
- Orbital or intracranial complications due to sinus disease.

What is an MRI PNS scan?
An MRI PNS is a non-invasive type of imaging test that is used on the paranasal sinuses to take images. This will help scan for any sinusitis issue, cysts, as well as structural abnormalities inside the sinus.
Is the MRI PNS scan a safe procedure?
Yes, with no use of ionized radiation, it is pretty safe to do the same for an extensive assessment to be carried out on one’s sinus.
How does one prepare for an MRI PNS scan?
It requires no special preparation most of the time, but there is a need to remove metal objects from the body before scanning.
How long does an MRI PNS scan take?
The scan will require about 30 to 45 minutes depending on your particular imaging need.
What can I expect for a report on my MRI PNS results?
Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours, at which time a radiologist will have prepared a detailed report for your doctor.
