Office CT Scanners offer a convenient diagnostic approach to quickly determine the nature of problems such as nasal congestion and chronic sinusitis, which share many symptoms with allergic disease and repeated viral illnesses. This video discusses the reasons that CT scans are helpful in the workup of these problems, and provides several examples and how those CT findings correlate with the associated symptoms in each case.
The bottom line: CT Scans take the guesswork out of evaluating nasal obstruction and sinus problems, and quickly provide evidence regarding the underlying causes of symptoms and guide treatment options that are most likely to provide lasting relief.
If you're in need of sinus and nasal care, we recommend consulting with a fellowship-trained Rhinologist with experience in the management of complex sinus and nasal problems for the most in depth evaluation and treatment options that work the first time.
