Patients suffering from nasal or sinus problems receive a thorough ear, nose, and throat examination utilizing the most state-of-the-art diagnostic testing.
Additional tests may include nasal endoscopy with culture, x-rays, or CT scan of the sinuses. If a CT scan is necessary, it may be done at The Sinus Center at Ohio ENT, offering low-dose radiation CT scans.
Low Dose Radiation CT Scans at Ohio ENT
Ohio ENT is concerned about the amount of radiation patients are exposed to and now offers MiniCAT™ - specifically designed to scan the sinus, skull base and temporal bone regions.
MiniCAT™ has been optimized to provide high-quality images while minimizing the radiation dose to the patient. Unlike multi-purpose full-body scanners, MiniCAT™ provides these high-quality images with as low as 1/5 of the radiation emitted from traditional CT.
MiniCAT™ is designed for patient comfort allowing patients to remain seated in an upright position, avoiding the uncomfortable, enclosed traditional CT. In addition, the cost for MiniCAT™ is typically lower than other facilities and significantly lower than CT scans performed in hospitals.
