Sinus Imaging

When it comes to evaluating the sinuses, a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan is considered the gold standard for diagnosing and planning sinus treatment. Sinus CBCT provides detailed images of the sinus anatomy that help dentists or ENT specialists diagnose and manage various sinus conditions.

The images produced by a sinus CBCT scan provide a clear view of the nasal cavities, sinuses, and surrounding structures. This level of detail allows for a more accurate diagnosis of sinus conditions such as sinusitis, nasal polyps, tumors, and cysts.

Sinus CBCT scans are often recommended for patients who have chronic sinus issues or recurring sinus infections that do not respond to traditional treatments. They can also be used to evaluate the success of sinus surgeries and to plan for future procedures.

The advantages of CBCT sinus scans vs traditional CT

While traditional CT scans have been widely used for sinus imaging, CBCT scans are becoming more popular. CBCT stands for Cone Beam Computed Tomography, and it provides high-quality, three-dimensional images of the sinus area. Compared to traditional CT scans, CBCT scans have reduced radiation exposure and produce high-quality, three-dimensional images of the sinus area with higher resolution and contrast.

A typical CBCT scan takes less than a minute to complete and doesn't require any preparation. CBCT scans can help diagnose sinus issues that are difficult to detect with traditional CT scans. Because of the high-quality images, physicians can examine the sinuses in more detail, making it easier to identify any problems. Furthermore, the three-dimensional images help to locate abnormalities more accurately.
