• Avoid Metal Objects: Avoid wearing any metal objects, including jewelry or eyeglasses; these can interfere with scan quality.
• Clothing: Dress in loose, comfortable clothing or be prepared to change into a hospital gown.
• Medical Implants & Allergies: Inform the technician about any medical implants (such as pacemakers or hearing aids) and any allergies—especially to iodine or contrast dyes, as some CT scans require the use of contrast agents.

• Medications: Routine medications can generally be continued, but consult your doctor if you have concerns.
• Arrival: Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary forms and relax before the scan.

A CT Scan Face (maxillofacial CT) uses specialized X-rays and advanced computer technology to produce highly detailed, cross-sectional images of the facial bones, sinuses, orbits (eye sockets), and associated soft tissues. Unlike standard X-rays, which show only a flat image, CT scans reconstruct the face into thin slices—creating comprehensive 3D models that help diagnose injuries, infections, tumors, and other abnormalities.

This scan is beneficial for:

• Confirming and locating facial fractures after trauma.
• Evaluating long-standing sinus infection or inflammation.
• Detecting abscesses, foreign objects, cysts, tumors, or other growths.
• Planning reconstructive surgery, dental implants, or other procedures.
• Assessing the condition or alignment of facial bones after injury or surgery.

CT scans may be done with or without contrast agents, depending on what your doctor is looking for. The procedure is fast — usually less than 10 minutes — and non-invasive, producing results that can be reviewed by expert radiologists quickly.
