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.
