Service Providers for CT Scan of Lower Jaw
A CT scan of the lower jaw (mandible) is used to evaluate fractures, infections, tumors, or other abnormalities in the jawbone and surrounding tissues. During the procedure, you will lie on a table while the scanner takes detailed cross-sectional images of the lower jaw. Preparation involves removing metal objects, such as jewelry or dentures. The scan is painless, but contrast dye may be used for better image clarity. Risks include allergic reactions to contrast dye and radiation exposure. Results are interpreted by examining the images for fractures, bone damage, or tumors. Afterward, you can resume normal activities.
