In this article, we will discuss the uses of CT Maxilla and some common questions related to CT Maxilla.
Maxilla CT (computed tomography) or CT scan Maxilla is non-invasive radiological tool which uses X-rays for the detection of abnormalities in the maxilla (upper jaw) and surrounding areas. CT Maxilla is the procedure that uses X-rays with computer technology to create 3D images of the upper jaw (maxilla) and the surrounding tissues. These images are more detailed and clear than simple X-rays and can help to detect the abnormalities of maxilla early and easily. There are various conditions which can be detected by CT Maxilla scan these conditions include maxilla fractures, injuries, bone dislocations, infections, inflammations, congenital abnormalities in maxilla etc.
What is Maxilla (Upper Jaw) CT?
Maxilla CT (Computed Tomography) is the non invasive diagnostic technique which uses X-rays for the detection of abnormalities in the maxilla (upper jaw) and associated tissues and bones. CT Maxilla is diagnostic tool like MRI and PET CT and this procedure helps to capture the cross sectional images of the Maxilla and provides detailed overview of the maxilla and associated bones and muscles. Various abnormalities detected by CT Maxilla include fracture of the maxilla, injury to maxilla, dislocations, infections, inflammations in maxillary bones etc. CT Maxilla can be performed with or without the use of contrast depending on the condition or suggestion by the healthcare expert.
What is Maxilla CT with contrast (CECT Maxilla)?
Maxilla CT is the advanced procedure of the simple CT Maxilla. In contrast CT, iodine based contrast is used for the detection of abnormalities in the Maxilla. Contrast used CT procedure give more clear images of Maxilla and helps to generate images with more clarity. This helps in easy and early detection of Maxilla abnormalities for effective and early treatment.
What are the Uses of CT Maxilla?
There are various uses of Maxilla CT scan and these uses include:
- To look for the congenital disease of maxilla
- Bone dislocation in maxilla
- Bone fracture in maxilla
- Bone injuries in maxilla
- Inflammation of maxilla
- Infection of maxilla
- Used to evaluate trauma and injuries in maxilla
- Used to detect cancers in maxilla
- Helps to plan the treatment for the condition in maxilla
- Helps to look for the effect of treatment
Which tests are used to check for the Maxilla abnormalities?
There are various types of tests used to check for Maxilla abnormalities and these include:
- X-ray Maxilla (Book Now)
- CT Maxilla (Book Now)
Conclusion
Maxilla CT (computed tomography) is the diagnostic tool used for the detection of abnormalities in the maxilla (upper jaw) and adjoining areas. There are various uses of CT maxilla like detection of tumor, congenital abnormalities, inflammation, trauma in maxilla etc. The process uses X-rays with computer technology and takes the pictures at various angles for clarity and with more description to get the condition of maxilla and surrounding areas. CT Maxilla is also done with the contrast material, this is also called CECT Maxilla or contrast enhanced computed tomography.
