Cone beam computed tomography in radiation refers to a unique kind of X-ray when a regular facial or dental x-ray is not sufficient for diagnosis or any surgical technique. It gives the ENT doctor a detailed image of the air spaces, bones, and soft tissues in your neck and head.
When is a CBCT scan needed?
Your doctor may recommend a CT scan is when you have a nagging pain in the head or neck, or a sinus blockage. With the three-dimensional image obtained, a detailed visualization of the region will give the doctor accurate insight into the mandibular, ossicle, axial, and vestibular areas of the body.
If the doctor suspects sensorineural hearing loss, tumour with inflammatory conditions, a lesion, vestibule complications, endolymphatic complications congenital abnormalities, atresia, acquired cholesteatoma, cranial nerve problems, tinnitus, conductive hearing loss, or ganglion problems, this scan is usually recommended.

Frequently asked questions about ENT CT scans
-
You can get an insight into the inner structures of the sinuses, nasal passages, and ears needed for the diagnosis and treatment of ENT infections.
-
The procedure is simple and quick. It is completed in a few minutes There is no pain or discomfort felt in the area scanned.
-
No. You do not need any special preparation for ENT CT scans, just wear comfortable and loose clothes during the appointment.
-
Yes. the ENT CT procedure is completely safe as it involved a very small dose of radiation, and the scanner machine does not touch you.
-
Yes, the CT of ENT organs can safely be used for children as there is a minor dose of radiation involved with no fear of side effects.

At Dynasty Stomatology, we offer computed tomography (CT) of ENT organs, which provides detailed 3D images of your sinuses, nasal passages, and surrounding structures. This quick, painless scan helps us accurately diagnose conditions such as sinusitis, nasal septum deviation, or other issues affecting your ear, nose, and throat area. The examination takes just a few minutes and plays a key role in planning effective treatment tailored to your needs. Please contact our clinic to schedule your scan — no lengthy preparation is required.

An ENT CT scan provides detailed images of the sinuses, nasal passages, ear structures, and surrounding bones, helping us identify conditions such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, deviated septum, ear infections, and bone abnormalities. It can also reveal tumors, fluid buildup, or blockages that may be causing your symptoms. This quick and painless scan is an invaluable tool that allows us to plan the most effective treatment tailored to your needs.

A CT scan can visualize a wide range of structures depending on the area being scanned, including bones, soft tissues, blood vessels, and internal organs such as the brain, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, and more. In our dental clinic, we use cone beam CT (CBCT) scans, which focus specifically on the teeth, jawbones, sinuses, nasal cavity, and surrounding facial structures. This type of scan gives us detailed 3D images that help us plan treatments like implants, extractions, or orthodontic procedures with great precision.

CT (Computed Tomography) scanners have evolved through seven generations based on how they acquire images. 1st generation used a single X-ray beam and detector with translate-rotate movements. 2nd generation introduced a small fan beam with multiple detectors, speeding up scans. 3rd generation featured a wider fan beam with a rotating detector array. 4th generation used a fixed ring of detectors around the patient. 5th generation (electron beam CT) eliminated mechanical rotation for ultra-fast cardiac imaging. 6th generation introduced helical/spiral scanning, allowing continuous data acquisition as the patient moves through the scanner. 7th generation represents modern multi-slice (multi-detector) CT, capable of capturing multiple image slices simultaneously for faster, higher-resolution scans — this is the technology commonly used in advanced dental and medical imaging today, including the CBCT systems we use at our clinic for precise 3D diagnostics.
-
Yes, a CT scan can reveal certain inner ear problems, such as structural abnormalities, infections, bone changes, or fluid buildup in the inner ear. However, for soft tissue details and conditions like inflammation of the inner ear nerves, an MRI is often the preferred imaging method. If you're experiencing symptoms like dizziness, hearing loss, or ear pain, your doctor will recommend the most appropriate scan based on your specific situation. Feel free to contact our clinic if you'd like guidance on which imaging option is right for you.

It is increasingly used in the diagnosis of ENT and dental issues for planning comfortable custom treatment plans for the patient.
Dental CT Scanning at Dynasty Stomatology
We at Dynasty Stomatology, we use dental CT scanning with advanced non-invasive CBCT technology. This radiotherapy scan gives the doctor a 3D high-resolution image of the jaw, teeth, basal skull, oral cavity, larynx and surrounding regions. ENT and radiologists deploy this technology for detecting benign infections, check the density of the jawbone, and extend with ENT surgery, and dental implants.
Why Choose CBCT Scanning?
CBCT scanning gives you more details than a regular ENT or an X-ray. The radiation dose is less and helps in the detection of sinus infections, examination of the middle ear and ear canal, check the nasal airways and passages.
Advantages of CT scan of ENT organs
How CBCT scan of ENT organs works with a scanner?
CBCT deploys an X-ray beam that looks like a cone to take the 3D pictures for accurate diagnosis and treatment. It rotates around the head and captures hundreds of images in a few seconds. When connected to a computer, these images become crystal clear to allow the doctor to look into inner structures of the neck and head like the facial nerve, skull base, temporal bone region, cochlea and other anatomical regions. It is extremely helpful for detecting diseases, squamous cell carcinoma, auditory disorders, and inner ear infections.
How is a CT scan of the ENT performed?
The scan uses a low radiation dose and takes place in a diagnostics center. It is a simple and quick scan where you need to either sit or stand. The rotational machine with a round window goes around the head at an oblique angle and is used to assess the IAC area for capturing the images. It will not touch you, but you need to be still for the process to be completed accurately. You will feel no discomfort or pain.
Preparation for CT scan of ENT organs
Like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), you must remove all metallic objects from the body like earrings, hairpins, etc. Though it involves low radiation however if you are pregnant, inform your doctor.
Price for CT scan of ENT organs
The price for a CT scan of ENT organs will depend upon the volume of area being scanned for diagnosis and treatment.
