Includes Test 5 Parameters
This X-ray is a side-view imaging test that focuses on the soft tissues around the nasopharyngeal area, including the upper airway, pharynx, and surrounding structures. It helps evaluate the anatomy of the nasopharynx and detect any abnormal masses, obstructions, or infections.
Doctors usually recommend this test when a patient has symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, nasal obstruction, snoring, sleep apnea, or suspected infections or growths in the nasopharyngeal region. It is also used to monitor airway space in patients with certain ENT conditions.
No special preparation is required. Patients should remove any metal objects near the head and neck, such as earrings, necklaces, or hairpins, to avoid interference with the X-ray image.
The test is completely painless. Radiation exposure is minimal and safe for most individuals. Pregnant women should avoid X-rays unless it is medically necessary and recommended by their doctor.
The procedure usually takes about five to ten minutes. The report is typically available within thirty minutes to one hour, depending on the workload of the diagnostic centre.
