Schedule your CECT Temporal Bone (Axial + Coronal) appointment at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre that provides state-of-the-art Radiology and Pathology diagnostics and therapies. The sophisticated Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) technology enables detailed imaging of the temporal bone, middle and inner ear, mastoid area, outer soft tissues and vascular structures, helping doctors better understand and make an accurate diagnosis of any complicated problem connected to the ears and skull base. Our skilled Radiologists employ state-of-the-art CT imaging techniques and contrast dye to obtain accurate anatomical data and provide timely reports for accurate diagnosis/treatment planning.
About CECT Temporal Bone (Axial + Coronal)
A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the temporal bone (Axial + Coronal) is a specialized X-ray that uses a special dye to give the temporal bone and surrounding areas a better view. The scan takes images both in the axial and the coronal planes, and thus provides detailed information about the middle ear, the mastoid air cells, the petrous bone, the facial nerve canal, and the inner ear structures and surrounding soft tissues.
What is CECT Temporal Bone (Axial + Coronal)?
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) Temporal Bone is a radiological scan that uses X-rays and a special dye substance to make detailed cross-sectional images of the region of the temporal bones. The contrast material improves visualization of blood vessels, soft tissue, and abnormal areas, which assists the radiologist in identifying normal and diseased structures. The axial and coronal views give a very complete view of ear and skull base anatomy and are used to make correct diagnoses and to plan the surgery.
Common Reasons for CECT Temporal Bone
- Evaluation of complex ear infections
- Assessment of soft tissue masses
- Suspected cholesteatoma with complications
- Evaluation of skull base lesions
- Facial nerve abnormalities
- Chronic ear discharge assessment
- Pre-surgical planning for ENT procedures
- Evaluation of inflammatory conditions
- Assessment of vascular abnormalities
Conditions Evaluated
Cholesteatoma
Helps assess abnormal tissue growth in the middle ear and evaluate possible extension into surrounding structures.
Chronic Ear Infections
Evaluates complications of long-standing infections affecting the middle ear and mastoid region.
Tumours and Mass Lesions
Helps identify abnormal growths involving the temporal bone, ear structures, and adjacent soft tissues.
Skull Base Disorders
Provides detailed evaluation of lesions or abnormalities near the petrous bone and skull base.
Facial Nerve Disorders
Assesses the facial nerve canal and surrounding structures for abnormalities.
Inflammatory and Infectious Conditions
Helps detect inflammation, abscess formation, and other complications involving the temporal bone region.
Vascular Abnormalities
Evaluates blood vessel-related changes and enhanced soft tissue lesions.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend a CECT Temporal Bone (Axial + Coronal) if you:
- Have persistent ear infections
- Experience unexplained hearing loss

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
- Fasting for 4–6 hours may be required before the CECT Temporal Bone (Axial + Coronal) examination if contrast injection is planned, as advised by the radiologist or doctor.
- Inform your doctor or radiology technician about any history of contrast allergy, kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, asthma, or other significant medical conditions before the scan.
- Inform your doctor about all current medications, especially if you are taking medicines for diabetes, kidney-related problems, or any other chronic condition.
- Carry previous CT scans, MRI reports, ENT consultation records, hearing test reports (Audiometry/BERA), medical records, or treatment documents, if available, for accurate comparison and evaluation.
- Remove all metal objects such as earrings, jewellery, hearing aids, hair accessories, or other metallic items from the head and neck region before the scan if instructed.
- Wear comfortable clothing and avoid clothing with metal components near the scanning area.
- Inform the radiology team if you are pregnant or suspect that you may be pregnant before undergoing the CT examination.
- Drink adequate fluids after the scan if contrast material is administered, unless restricted by your doctor.
