About CT Neck & Face - Plain
A CT Neck & Face - Plain is an advanced imaging examination that is carried out with the help of X-ray and computer technology to form detailed cross-sectional images of the neck & face region, excluding the use of intravenous contrast. It provides an excellent view to show the bones in the face, soft tissue around the neck (which includes airways, thyroid gland, salivary gland, lymph nodes and surrounding anatomy), cervical spine and cervical paranasal sinuses.
This is a combined exam to evaluate both the facial skeleton and neck, and can be useful to evaluate trauma, infections, structural abnormalities, and for pre-operative evaluation. High-resolution imaging at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy assures quality images that aid in proper diagnosis of all varieties of head and neck conditions.
What is a CT Neck & Face - Plain?
A computed tomography (CT) of the neck & face (no contrast) is an imaging test that is non-invasive. It gives detailed images of the neck and facial structures, which helps doctors accurately assess bones, soft tissues, glands, air passages, and other anatomical structures. This scan is often ordered if there is trauma or swelling to the developing face or neck, congenital deformities, unexplained pain, or for a thorough examination of the head and neck area.
Common Reasons for CT Neck & Face - Plain
Head, neck, or facial injury following trauma
Suspected facial bone or neck fractures
Persistent neck or facial pain
Evaluation of enlarged lymph nodes
Assessment of thyroid enlargement
Evaluation of congenital facial or neck abnormalities
Assessment of sinus-related facial disorders
Pre-operative planning
Follow-up after trauma or surgery
Conditions Evaluated
Facial and Neck Trauma
Detects fractures, soft tissue injuries, and structural damage involving the face and neck.
Facial Bone Fractures
Evaluates fractures of the nasal bones, maxilla, mandible, zygomatic bones, orbital bones, and other facial structures.
Enlarged Lymph Nodes
Assesses abnormal cervical lymph nodes and associated soft tissue changes.
Thyroid and Salivary Gland Disorders
Evaluates enlargement and structural abnormalities of the thyroid and salivary glands.
Congenital Abnormalities
Helps identify developmental abnormalities affecting the facial bones and neck.
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have sustained facial or neck trauma
Have persistent neck or facial swelling
Experience unexplained facial or neck pain
Have enlarged lymph nodes or thyroid enlargement
Require comprehensive evaluation before surgery
Need follow-up imaging after treatment

CT Neck & Face - Plain जांच के लिए आमतौर पर किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।
जांच के लिए आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा गले की चेन, कान की बालियां, नाक की ज्वेलरी, चश्मा, डेंचर (यदि सलाह दी जाए), हियरिंग एड, हेयरपिन और सिर, चेहरे एवं गर्दन के आसपास की सभी धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को अवश्य बताएं।
यदि आपकी गर्दन, चेहरे, सर्वाइकल स्पाइन, थायरॉइड, मैक्सिलोफेशियल सर्जरी, डेंटल इम्प्लांट, ब्रेसेस, ट्रेकियोस्टॉमी, चेहरे की हड्डी में फ्रैक्चर या गर्दन/चेहरे में पहले कोई गंभीर चोट लगी हो, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर और रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पिछली CT Scan, MRI रिपोर्ट, X-ray, Ultrasound, OPG (Dental X-ray), ENT विशेषज्ञ की रिपोर्ट, Maxillofacial विशेषज्ञ की रिपोर्ट अथवा अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि आपको सीधे लेटने, निगलने, मुंह खोलने या बंद करने अथवा कुछ समय तक स्थिर रहने में कठिनाई होती है, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
जांच के दौरान CT तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें और स्पष्ट एवं सटीक इमेज प्राप्त करने के लिए पूरी तरह स्थिर रहें तथा अनावश्यक रूप से गर्दन या सिर न हिलाएं और निगलने से बचें।
पंजीकरण और तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 10–15 मिनट पहले पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT scanner table with the head, face, and neck properly aligned to obtain accurate images of the entire examination area.
The scan is performed without intravenous (IV) contrast, making it a safe and non-invasive examination for evaluating the neck and facial structures.
The CT scanner acquires high-resolution cross-sectional images of the facial bones, nasal bones, maxilla, mandible, zygomatic bones, orbital bones, paranasal sinuses, cervical vertebrae, airway, larynx, pharynx, thyroid gland, salivary glands, lymph nodes, and surrounding soft tissues.
The patient is instructed to remain completely still and may be asked to avoid swallowing briefly during image acquisition to minimize motion artefacts and ensure optimal image quality.
The examination helps evaluate facial fractures, neck injuries, enlarged lymph nodes, thyroid disorders, congenital abnormalities, sinus-related conditions, airway disorders, facial deformities, and post-surgical or post-traumatic changes.
The procedure is safe, painless, non-invasive, and generally completed within 5–10 minutes.
The radiologist carefully reviews the images to assess the bones, soft tissues, glands, airway, and other anatomical structures, helping identify any abnormalities and guide appropriate treatment planning.
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
