An X-ray Paranasal Sinus AP View is a front-facing X-ray that shows the sinuses located around the nose, including the frontal, maxillary, and ethmoid sinuses. It helps doctors check for infections, blockages, inflammation, or structural problems.
Doctors usually recommend this test when a patient has symptoms like sinus pain, headache, nasal blockage, repeated infections, facial swelling, or suspected sinusitis. The AP view helps identify fluid levels, mucosal thickening, or sinus abnormalities.
No special preparation is needed. You only need to remove spectacles, earrings, chains, and any metal accessories on your face or head to ensure a clear image during the X-ray.
The test is completely painless. It uses minimal radiation, which is considered safe for most people. However, pregnant women should avoid X-rays unless medically necessary.
The procedure usually takes around five to ten minutes. Most diagnostic centres provide the report within thirty minutes to one hour, depending on their workload.
