Service Providers for CT Scan of Mandible/Maxilla
A CT scan of the mandible (lower jaw) and maxilla (upper jaw) is used to evaluate fractures, tumors, infections, or dental issues affecting the jaw and facial bones. During the procedure, you will lie on a table while the scanner takes detailed cross-sectional images of the mandible and maxilla. Preparation involves removing any metal objects, such as jewelry or dentures. The procedure is painless, but contrast dye may be used to enhance image clarity. Risks include allergic reactions to contrast dye and radiation exposure. Results are interpreted by examining the images for fractures, bone abnormalities, or infections. Afterward, you can resume normal activities.
