CT Mastoids

CT Mastoids

5000+ scans done & counting

A CT Mastoids Scan is a non-invasive imaging procedure that utilizes Computed Tomography (CT) technology to capture detailed images of the mastoid bones located behind the ears. The mastoid bones, part of the temporal bone structure of the skull, are filled with air cells and play a crucial role in the drainage of the middle ear. A CT Mastoids scan is typically performed to diagnose or evaluate conditions such as mastoiditis, cholesteatomas, ear infections, and complications arising from these conditions.

CT scans combine a series of X-ray images taken from different angles around the body and use computer processing to create cross-sectional images, or slices, of the bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. The resultant images provide more detailed information than standard X-rays and allow physicians to examine the images in a 3D format, assisting in precise diagnoses and effective treatment plans.
