CT Neck Scan – High-Precision Imaging for Comprehensive Diagnosis
A CT Neck Scan (Computed Tomography of the Neck) is a non-invasive imaging procedure that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the soft tissues, blood vessels, lymph nodes, airway, and bones of the neck. Using advanced X-ray technology and contrast enhancement, it helps detect abnormalities, tumors, infections, and vascular conditions with high accuracy.
Key Features:
✅ High-Resolution Imaging – Captures detailed views of the throat, airway, glands, and spine.
✅ Fast & Non-Invasive – Quick scan time (typically 5–10 minutes) with minimal patient discomfort.
✅ Contrast-Enhanced Visualization – Highlights blood vessels and abnormal growths.
✅ 3D Reconstruction Capability – Provides multi-dimensional imaging for precise evaluation.
✅ PACS & DICOM Compatibility – Enables efficient storage, retrieval, and sharing of imaging data.
Applications:
🔹 Tumor Detection: Identifies cancers or benign growths in the throat, thyroid, and salivary glands.
🔹 Infection & Abscess Diagnosis: Detects deep tissue infections, abscesses, and inflammatory conditions.
🔹 Trauma & Injury Evaluation: Assesses fractures, airway obstructions, and soft tissue damage.
🔹 Vascular Assessment: Examines carotid arteries for narrowing, blockages, or aneurysms.
🔹 Thyroid & Lymph Node Analysis: Evaluates enlargement, nodules, or metastatic spread.
Benefits:
✔ Quick & Accurate Diagnosis – Essential for detecting life-threatening conditions.
✔ Minimally Invasive – Only requires an IV contrast injection when needed.
✔ Low Radiation Exposure – Uses optimized CT protocols for patient safety.
✔ Comprehensive Soft Tissue Imaging – Provides a detailed view of internal structures.
✔ Critical for Surgical Planning – Helps ENT specialists and surgeons plan precise interventions.
Technical Specifications:
- Scan Duration: 5–10 minutes
- Slice Thickness: 0.5–1.0 mm for high-definition imaging
- Contrast Agent: Iodine-based contrast (for vascular and tissue enhancement)
- Imaging Modes: Axial, coronal, sagittal, 3D reconstruction
