Service Providers for CT Scan of Right Ear/Mastoid
A CT scan of the right ear/mastoid is used to evaluate the bones and soft tissues of the ear and surrounding area, including the mastoid bone behind the ear. It helps diagnose conditions like infections, tumors, fractures, or abnormalities in the ear or surrounding structures. During the procedure, you will lie on a table while the scanner takes detailed cross-sectional images of the ear and mastoid region. Preparation involves removing any metal objects like jewelry or hearing aids. The procedure is painless, though contrast dye may be used for enhanced imaging. Risks include allergic reactions to contrast dye and radiation exposure. Results are interpreted by analyzing the images for abnormalities. Afterward, you can resume normal activities.
