CT scans, or computed tomography scans, use X-rays to create three-dimensional images of the sinus, ear, nose and throat anatomy. This diagnostic information is invaluable to properly diagnose medical conditions or plan ENT & Sinus procedures.
Patients with sinus issues will first be evaluated, discuss symptoms, signs of disease and any pertinent medical history. An In-Office CT Scan will be done if indicated to assist in formatting a diagnosis and medical or surgical plan.
In-office CT Scan at Fort Worth ENT
Our specialized CT scanning technology not only provides more efficient results (you get your diagnosis during your exam), but also delivers a much lower dose of radiation. Since our equipment is customized to target only the sinuses, temporal bones and skull base, it does not use as much radiation as a full-body CT scanner.
Our in-office CT scanner also allows our patients to be scanned while sitting upright, instead of being subjected to the claustrophobic, full-body version. A typical in-office scan will take only about 20 seconds. Make an appointment today to get faster results!
