What Can Be Detected in a CT Head & Neck Scan?

When it comes to diagnosing health issues involving the brain, face, sinuses, throat, and neck, CT Head & Neck scans are one of the most powerful tools available. Fast, non-invasive, and highly accurate, these scans help detect a wide range of medical conditions that can otherwise go unnoticed.

At Usmanpura Imaging Centre, a pioneer in diagnostic imaging in Ahmedabad for over 40 years, we use advanced CT technology to ensure detailed and precise evaluations of head and neck regions.

What Is a CT Head & Neck Scan?

A CT (Computed Tomography) scan uses X-rays and computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the head and neck. It provides detailed insights into soft tissues, bones, blood vessels, and organs in this area, offering more detail than a standard X-ray.
