CT Facial Bones 3D Imaging
CT Facial Bones 3D imaging is a specialized CT scan focused on capturing detailed, three-dimensional images of the facial bones. It provides comprehensive views of facial structures, including bones, sinuses, and soft tissues.
Process:
The process involves the patient lying on a table that moves into the CT scanner. The scanner rotates around the head, capturing multiple images from different angles. These images are then reconstructed by computer software to create a detailed 3D model of the facial bones.
Uses:
- Evaluation of Facial Trauma: It helps in assessing fractures or injuries to the facial bones caused by accidents or trauma.
- Sinus Evaluation: CT facial bone scans are useful for evaluating sinus conditions like sinusitis or structural abnormalities.
- Surgical Planning: Surgeons use 3D images for planning reconstructive surgeries of the facial bones.
- Dental Implant Planning: Dentists and oral surgeons use these scans to plan dental implants or oral surgeries accurately.
Others:
- Detailed Visualization: 3D imaging provides a more comprehensive view compared to traditional 2D scans.
- Precise Measurements: Surgeons can obtain precise measurements of facial structures for accurate treatment planning.
- Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is generally well-tolerated and requires minimal preparation.
