Computed Tomography

Tomography of the sinuses is also performed in children and people with disabilities. The examination is painless, non-invasive and does not require the patient to prepare in advance. It is best to dress comfortably for the examination, so that the outfit does not prevent the patient from holding the desired position for the examination. In addition, all metal items – earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, belts, hair pins, glasses, etc. – should be removed from the body. They can cause artifacts in the image, which can significantly affect the quality and reliability of the test result. It is performed in a standing position and takes a few seconds. This type of examination is very often ordered by ENT physicians when the result of the endoscopic examination is unclear, abnormal or when the endoscopic examination is impossible to perform ( for example, when the patient does not cooperate).
