MSCT of the facial bones

MSCT of the facial bones is a non-invasive radiological method that uses a multislice CT scanner to obtain a precise view of the bones and structures of the face. This examination can detect even the smallest changes, fractures, or inflammatory processes, and it is often used in the assessment of the sinuses, jaw, as well as in preparation for surgical and dental procedures.

When is a CT scan of the facial bones recommended?

MSCT of the facial bones is indicated in cases of:

• suspected fractures after trauma or impact
• chronic sinus inflammation (sinusitis)
• suspected tumor changes or cysts in the facial and jaw area
• planning maxillofacial, plastic, or dental surgery
• evaluation of facial bone anomalies and developmental irregularities
• monitoring the condition after surgical procedures

Patient preparation

No special preparation is required for MSCT of the facial bones. It is recommended to remove all metal objects from the head area (earrings, piercing, dentures) as they may interfere with image quality.

What does the examination look like?

The examination is quick, painless, and takes only a few minutes. The patient lies on the CT scanner table, while the head is positioned for optimal imaging. In some indications, a contrast agent may be used for a more detailed assessment of soft tissues and blood vessels.

The report is prepared by a radiology specialist and is available within a short time.
