Background: technically, CT scan of the paranasal sinuses is considered the gold standard for
diagnosing sinus diseases due to its ability to produce detailed images of bone structures and the
surrounding soft tissues.
Research Objective: purposefully, this research aims to analyse non-contrast CT scan procedure
for the paranasal sinuses undertaken at Meuraxa General Hospital, Banda Aceh. Research
Methodology: this research applies qualitative method with descriptive study approach to observe
paranasal sinus CT scan images based on direct observation and secondary data obtained from CT
scan equipment. While, the research was conducted in the radiology department of Meuraxa
Regional General Hospital.
Research Findings: accordingly, the paranasal sinus CT scan procedure includes research patient
positioning namely the radiology staff positions the patient lying down on the examination table
with the head resting on a pre-installed headrest. And then, table adjustment namely the
examination table is adjusted in such a way therefore the upper boundary of the head aligns within
the radiation field, and the table height aligns with the external acoustic meatus (EAM).
Furthermore, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of the paranasal sinus CT scan technique
undertaken at Meuraxa Regional General Hospital follows the hospital's established SOP.
Conclusion and Suggestion: In conclusion, non-contrast CT scan procedure for the paranasal
sinuses conducted at Meuraxa Regional General Hospital adheres to the established SOP. This
research greatly provides updated information for radiographers, particularly on conducting
paranasal sinus CT scans, and highlights the need for continued education and skill enhancement in
performing these procedures to address inefficiencies in training.
