Book an appointment for a CT Mandible at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, NABL-accredited and NABH-accredited. It is an advanced imaging procedure that is used to provide detailed cross-sectional images of the lower jaw (mandible), teeth, jaw joints, and the surrounding bone structures. It aids the physician in the diagnosis of fractures, infection, cysts, tumours, developmental abnormalities, and other diseases of the mandible. We have highly trained radiology personnel who use advanced CT technology to deliver prompt reporting and high-resolution images.
About CT Mandible
A CT scan is a non-invasive imaging procedure that takes detailed pictures of the lower jaw with X-rays and a computer, called CT Mandible. It is a great aid for visualizing the bony makeup of the mandible and can assist in the diagnosis of any abnormalities that may not be seen clearly on a traditional X-ray. The examination evaluates:
Mandible: Body, ramus, angle, condyle, and other parts of the lower jaw
Teeth: Dental structures and their relationship with the jaw
Temporomandibular Joints: Condylar and adjacent bony structures
Bone Structures: Cortical and trabecular bone abnormalities
Surrounding Structures: Adjacent facial and oral structures as included in the scan
What is a CT Mandible?
A CT (computed tomography) of the mandible is an imaging procedure for taking detailed cross-sectional and reconstructed images of the lower jaw. It has a special application for complex fractures, abnormal bone conditions, infection, cysts, among others- tasks that demand detailed assessment of mandible anatomy. This scan is also performed before maxillofacial or dental surgery for pre-operative planning.
Common Reasons for CT Mandible
Evaluation of mandibular fractures
Facial or jaw trauma
Suspected bone infection
Evaluation of jaw cysts
Suspected benign or malignant tumours
Assessment of developmental abnormalities
Evaluation of impacted teeth and their relationship to the mandible
Pre-operative surgical planning
Follow-up after treatment or surgery
Conditions Evaluated
Mandibular Fractures
Provides detailed visualization of fracture lines, displacement, and involvement of surrounding bony structures.
Jaw Infections
Helps identify bony changes and complications associated with infection of the mandible.
Cysts and Lesions
Can detect and characterize cystic or other lesions involving the jawbone.
Mandibular Tumours
Helps evaluate abnormal growths and their relationship with surrounding bony structures.
Temporomandibular Joint Abnormalities
Provides detailed assessment of the bony components of the mandibular condyle and TM joint.
Developmental Abnormalities
Helps assess structural and developmental abnormalities involving the mandible.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have sustained an injury to the jaw or face
Have persistent jaw pain or swelling
Have suspected mandibular fracture
Have a suspected cyst, lesion, or tumour
Have suspected infection involving the jaw
Require evaluation before dental or maxillofacial surgery
Need follow-up imaging after treatment

Plain CT Mandible के लिए आमतौर पर किसी विशेष तैयारी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है।
जांच से पहले ज्वेलरी, नकली दांत, चश्मा, कान की बालियां और अन्य धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
यदि पहले Jaw Surgery, Fracture या Dental Procedure हुआ है, तो रेडियोलॉजी टीम को बताएं।
उपलब्ध होने पर पिछली X-Ray, CT Scan या Dental Reports साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो डॉक्टर को बताएं।
सिर और गर्दन के आसपास धातु-रहित आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें।
स्कैन के दौरान सिर और जबड़े को स्थिर रखें।
डॉक्टर या डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर द्वारा दिए गए अतिरिक्त निर्देशों का पालन करें।
रजिस्ट्रेशन और तैयारी के लिए कुछ मिनट पहले पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT table with the head and mandible correctly aligned.
The radiology team ensures that any removable metallic objects around the head and neck have been removed.
The CT scanner uses X-rays and computer technology to capture detailed images of the mandible.
Multiple cross-sectional images are obtained to assess the body, ramus, angle, condyle, and other parts of the mandible.
The scan can provide detailed views of fractures, bone lesions, cysts, tumours, infections, and structural abnormalities.
Images may be reconstructed in different planes to help the radiologist understand the jaw anatomy more clearly.
The radiologist reviews the images and prepares the report.
The examination is generally quick and non-invasive.
The scan usually takes around 5–10 minutes, depending on the protocol.
Reporting is generally available within 04 hours.
