Know more about this test
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) PNS (paranasal sinuses) with Contrast creates a picture of the 4 paired air-filled spaces that surround the nasal cavity pituitary gland and surrounding the soft tissues.The contrast helps in increasing the visibility of the internal organs and hence improves the sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of the MRI scan.
This test is prescribed by the doctor to diagnose intracranial extension of the sinonasal region due to infection or swelling and to find out the condition of sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses) or paranasal cancer.
