CT Scan
CT Scans for ENT Evaluation
CT scans (computed tomography scans) are a vital diagnostic tool in ENT care, providing highly detailed images of the sinuses, nasal passages, ears, and surrounding anatomy. These scans help your provider evaluate chronic conditions, detect abnormalities, and create precise, personalized treatment plans, all without the need for invasive procedures.
At Marlowe MD ENT, we are proud to offer in-office CT scanning, making it easier and more convenient for patients to get the answers they need without scheduling a separate imaging appointment. Our state-of-the-art scanners use low-dose radiation and complete the scan in just a few minutes. The process is quick, comfortable, and completely painless.
Concerns CT Scans Can Identify
- Chronic or recurring sinus infections
- Nasal obstructions or breathing difficulties
- Suspected structural issues like a deviated septum
- Ear infections and middle ear problems
- Inner ear malformations
- Enlarged turbinates
- Assessment prior to procedures such as balloon sinuplasty or sinus surgery
- Enlarged adenoids or tonsils
The detailed 3D images produced by a CT scan allow your ENT specialist to better visualize what may not be visible during a routine exam. This advanced imaging can reveal inflammation, blockages, or anatomical irregularities that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Having access to CT imaging within our office not only streamlines your care but also allows for faster diagnosis and treatment planning. In many cases, your scan can be reviewed the same day during your visit, reducing delays and eliminating the need to travel to another facility.
If you’ve been experiencing chronic nasal, sinus, or ear symptoms, a CT scan may be the next best step in identifying the cause. Contact our office today to learn more or to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced ENT providers.
