What is an X-Ray of Nasal Bone SI View?

An X-Ray Nasal Bone SI (Submentovertical) View is a specific X-Ray study that gives a clear picture of the nasal bones from below (submentovertical projection). It is useful in imaging:

• • Nasal Bone & Cartilage – Evaluates fracture, deformity, and structural misalignment.

• Nasal Septum & Sinus Cavities – Demonstrates nasal passage deviation, inflammation, or infection.

• • Facial Bone Injuries – Demonstrates occult fracture or traumatic changes in the nasal area.

• Soft Tissue Abnormalities – Assists in the assessment of nasal swelling, tumours, or fluid accumulation.

It is rapid, non-invasive, and yields valuable diagnostic information for the assessment of nasal bone fractures and structural abnormalities.

Medifyhome has associations with NABL-approved diagnostic centres for offering economical, quality, and accurate X-ray facilities for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Why is it Done?

Your physician can prescribe an X-ray Nasal Bone SI View for the following conditions:

• Nasal Bone Fractures & Trauma – Examines broken or displaced nasal bones from accidents or trauma.
• Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS) – Examines nasal septum displacement causing blocked breathing.
• Nasal Infections & Sinusitis – Is diagnosing infection of the nasal passages and sinuses caused by bacteria or viruses.
• Nasal Polyps & Tumours – Detects abnormal masses or growths within the nasal passage.
• Congenital Nasal Deformities – Detects structural deformities that occur at birth and compromise nasal breathing.
• Post-Surgical Nasal Evaluation – Tracks nasal healing and bone alignment following reconstructive or cosmetic surgery.

Early diagnosis via X-ray Nasal Bone SI View ensures appropriate treatment and improved control of nasal and facial disorders.

How do you prepare for an X-Ray of Nasal Bone SI View?

• There is minimal preparation, but adhere to these instructions for optimal imaging results:

  • Tell Your Doctor About Any Allergies – If you have an allergy to contrast dye, inform your doctor beforehand.
  • Fasting Requirements – You may need to fast for a few hours before the procedure.
