Sinus CT Scan in Dubai: High-Resolution Paranasal Imaging
Definitive imaging of the sinuses, nasal passages, and surrounding facial structures
A sinus CT scan in Dubai provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of the paranasal sinuses — the maxillary, ethmoid, frontal, and sphenoid sinuses — along with the nasal cavity, ostiomeatal complex, and surrounding facial bones. It is the gold standard for evaluating chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and complex sinus anatomy before surgical intervention. At DCDC in Dubai Healthcare City, our thin-slice CT protocols deliver exceptional detail of the delicate sinus structures that standard X-rays cannot visualize.
A sinusitis CT in Dubai or paranasal sinus CT in Dubai study provides the detail needed for diagnosis. Your ENT specialist or doctor may order a sinus CT when symptoms such as facial pain, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, reduced sense of smell, or recurrent sinus infections persist despite medical treatment. The scan reveals the extent and distribution of mucosal disease, identifies anatomical variants that predispose to sinusitis, and detects complications such as mucoceles, fungal sinusitis, and orbital or intracranial extension of disease.
Sinus CT is performed without contrast in most cases, as bone and soft tissue structures within the sinuses are well-differentiated on non-contrast images. The scan uses a focused field of view covering only the sinus region, resulting in significantly lower radiation dose compared to a full head CT. The entire study is completed in under 30 seconds with the patient sitting upright or lying down.
