Screening Sinus CT
CT of the sinuses primarily is used to:1. Detect the presence of inflammatory diseases. 2. Plan for surgery by defining anatomy or giving further information about tumors of the
nasal cavity and sinuses.3. Evaluate sinuses that are filled with fluid or thickened sinus membranes.4. Help diagnose sinusitis. Scout image: Patient is placed supine. The alignment of the scan is perpendicular to the hard palate. The scan is set up to start posterior to the sphenoid sinus and continued anteriorly through the frontal sinuses and anterior face. Contrast: 100cc Omnipaque 300 IV, R/O sinus or nasal cavity tumor kVp / Effective mAs / Rotation time (sec) 120 / 130 / 0.75 FOV : 180 mm. Thickness: 3 mm.

Facial Bones CT (also use for mandible protocol)
A CT of the Facial Bones is an exam that takes thin slice (2 - 3.5 mm) images of the facial bone structure, including the jaw, nose, eye sockets and cheek bones. These images are helpful in the diagnosis of facial trauma and malformations. Scout Image: Patient is placed supine. The scan is set up to start below the mandible and continue superiorly through the frontal sinuses. Bone Window: WC : 200, WW : 2000 Soft Tissue Window: WC : 50, WW : 350 Submit images in bone and soft tissue algorithm.
