Understanding X - Ray PNS - Waters view in Ahmedabad
What is X - Ray PNS - Waters view in Ahmedabad?
It is an imaging technique to visualize paranasal sinuses (PNS) along with surrounding soft tissues. Waters view (also known as the occipitomental view) helps to get a better view of the maxillary sinuses by using X-ray beam angled at 45° to the orbitomeatal line. PNS helps to reduce the weight of the head, aids in voice resonance and air humidification.
A PNS water view x-ray is recommended by a doctor if a person experiences symptoms of sinusitis. It is also helpful in detecting other problems like bleeding or tumor in the nose.
Pregnant women should inform the physician about their condition as the radiations might affect the fetus.
