In this article, we will discuss the uses of CT Temporal bone in detecting the Temporal bone abnormalities. We will also discuss some common questions related to CT Temporal bone.
Temporal bone CT (computed tomography) or CT scan Temporal bone is non-invasive radiological tool which uses X-rays for the detection of abnormalities in the side and base of skull bones (temporal bones). CT Temporal bone is the procedure that uses X-rays with computer technology to create 3D images of the temporal bones of the body. These images are more detailed and clear than simple X-rays and can help to detect the abnormalities early and easily. There are various conditions which can be detected by CT Temporal bone scan these conditions include fractures, injuries, lymphomas, congenital disorders etc.
What is Temporal Bone CT?
Temporal bone CT (Computed Tomography) is the non invasive diagnostic technique which uses X-rays for the detection of temporal bone abnormalities. CT Temporal bone is diagnostic tool like MRI and PET CT. This procedure helps to capture the cross sectional images of the Temporal bone and provides detailed overview of the skull in around and base of the skull. Various abnormalities detected by CT Temporal bone include deformity in the temporal bone, injury, fracture of temporal bones, congenital abnormalities. CT Temporal bone can be performed with or without the use of contrast depending on the condition or suggestion by the healthcare expert.
What is Temporal bone CT with contrast (CECT Temporal bone)?
Temporal bone CT is the advanced procedure of the simple CT Temporal bone. In contrast CT, iodine based contrast is used for the detection of abnormalities in the Temporal bone. Contrast used CT procedure give more clear images of Temporal bone and helps to generate images with more clarity. This helps in easy and early detection of Temporal bone abnormalities for effective and early treatment.
What are the Uses of CT Temporal bone?
There are various uses of Temporal bone CT scan and these uses include:
- Used to look for the congenital abnormalities in temporal bone
- Fracture in temporal bone
- Injury in temporal bone
- Infection in temporal bone
- Inflammation in and around temporal bone area
- Help to detect the stage of cancer
- Help to detect the tumors
- Help to look for the effectiveness of treatment
- Used to evaluate the trauma in temporal bone
- Helps to plan radiotherapy for the temporal bone condition
Which Tests Are Used to Check for the Temporal Bone Abnormalities?
There are various types of tests used to check for Temporal bone abnormalities and these include:
- MRI Temporal bone (Book Now)
- HRCT Temporal bone (Book Now)
- CT Temporal bone (Book Now)
- 3D Reconstruction Temporal bone (Book Now)
Conclusion
Temporal bone CT (computed tomography) is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of abnormalities in the temporal bones which includes from the injury and fracture in temporal bones and surrounding areas. There are various uses of temporal CT like detection of tumor, congenital abnormalities, inflammation, trauma in the temporal bone etc. CT temporal bone uses X-rays with computer technology and takes the pictures at various angles for clarity and with more description to get the condition of Temporal bone easily detected. CT Temporal bone is also done with the contrast material, this is also called CECT Temporal bone or contrast enhanced computed tomography.
