NCCT Face Coronal
A NCCT Face Coronal, offered by Medifyhome, is an advanced form of imaging that allows for detailed cross-sectional views of the face, especially sinuses, nasal passages, as well as facial bones. In a non-contrast CT scan, the diagnostic procedure captures highly resolved images in a coronal plane to enable a precise assessment of complex structures in the face. This scan is used widely to diagnose sinus infection problems, facial fractures, nasal obstruction, or any abnormal growth. Also, unlike conventional X-rays, the NCCT Face Coronal provides more diverse views, which enables doctors to diagnose beyond what may be ascertained from the regular scans. Medifyhome offers fast and accurate results through advanced technology to help doctors give their patients the best possible treatments available. From chronic sinusitis, facial pain, or nasal blockage, NCCT Face Coronal will serve in pointing out the root cause of the symptoms and then in its appropriate treatment.
What is NCCT Face Coronal?
NCCT Face Coronal is a computed tomography scan where no contrast is added to outline the structures of the face that include sinuses, nasal passages, and facial bones, taken on coronal view. This imaging diagnostic technique is very helpful in assessing chronic sinusitis, facial fractures, nasal obstructions, and tumors. It is not like routine X-rays. The NCCT Face Coronal presents a more detailed and accurate view of the facial structures for appropriate diagnosis and planning of subsequent treatments. This is a safe, non-invasive procedure yielding high-resolution images without the need for any contrast agent.
How Does NCCT Face Coronal Work?
- Patient positioning: Place the patient in a CT scanner; align the face for optimal imaging of sinuses and facial structures.
- CT Imaging Procedure: The scanner takes cross-sectional X-rays of the face, which it presents in the coronal plane.
- Non-contrast Method: This method does not apply contrast dye; hence fast and safe for patients who are contraindicated to certain contrast agents.
- Captures High-Resolution Images of Facial Bones, Sinuses, and Nasal Passages: Such imaging allows taking high-resolution images of facial bones, sinuses, and nasal passages, so it is possible to conduct detailed assessment.
- Image Processing is Instant: The image is processed and examined instantly, so that the result for clear and precise diagnosis in cases of facial and sinus disorders can be considered.

How NCCT Face Coronal Enhances Facial and Sinus Diagnosis?
NCCT Face Coronal- Improves diagnosis for the face and sinus by showing images of bones and sinuses in detail. NCCT Face Coronal develops even clearer anatomy than ordinary X-rays, which helps diagnose chronic sinusitis, facial fractures, and nasal blockages. The coronal view helps doctors to see the condition from a front-facing angle, making it easier and more likely to be able to detect abnormalities that cannot be detected by other imaging techniques. Such accuracy ensures a more precise diagnosis and better treatment planning for conditions affecting the face and sinus.
