Includes Test 5 Parameters
An X-ray Paranasal Sinus Lateral View is a side-view X-ray of the sinuses that helps visualize the frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses. It provides detailed information about sinus air levels, fluid buildup, and structural abnormalities.
Doctors recommend the lateral view when a patient has symptoms such as persistent sinus pain, headaches, nasal obstruction, recurrent sinus infections, or suspected sinusitis. It helps detect fluid levels, mucosal swelling, and any blockages within the sinus cavities.
No special preparation is required. You only need to remove metal accessories like spectacles, earrings, chains, hair pins, or anything around the head and face, as metal can interfere with the X-ray image.
The test is completely painless. The amount of radiation used is very low and safe for most individuals. Pregnant women should avoid X-rays unless it is absolutely necessary and advised by a doctor.
The entire procedure usually takes about five to ten minutes. Most diagnostic centres provide the test report within thirty minutes to one hour depending on their workload.
