In-Office Sinus CT Scan,
Read the Same Visit

A sinus CT scan shows what a nasal exam alone cannot: the structure inside your sinuses and where they are blocked, inflamed, or crowded. At ENT Urgent Care, the scan is done in the office on a low-dose scanner and reviewed with you the same visit, with no separate hospital trip.

What a Sinus CT Scan Shows

A sinus CT scan gives your provider a detailed view of your sinus cavities and nasal passages. It can reveal blockages, chronic inflammation, structural narrowing, or polyps that may not be visible during a standard exam.

A detailed scan that helps confirm sinus problems and guide the right treatment plan.

Sinus Cavities

Shows the condition of the sinus spaces and air pathways.

Nasal Passages

Helps identify narrowing, blockage, or drainage issues.

Inflammation & Polyps

Reveals chronic swelling, tissue changes, or nasal polyps.

Treatment Planning

Guides medication, follow-up care, or surgery if needed.

When a Sinus CT Scan Helps

These everyday signs are some of the most common reasons patients come in for a Sinus CT Scan.

Sinus infections that keep coming back
Sinus symptoms that have not cleared with treatment
Facial pressure, congestion, or drainage that lingers
A suspected structural issue like a deviated septum or polyps
A plan to evaluate sinus surgery or a procedure
Loss of smell along with ongoing congestion

For persistent or recurring sinus symptoms, a CT scan helps reveal what a standard exam may not show.

A sinus CT scan helps identify hidden blockages, inflammation, or structural issues behind ongoing sinus symptoms.

What to Expect

A safe, guided process to clear earwax and relieve blocked-ear symptoms.

The scan is fast and painless. You’ll sit or stand still briefly while the scanner captures detailed images of your sinuses. For a standard sinus CT, there is no tunnel to slide into and no contrast injection. Your provider then reviews the images with you and explains what they show before you leave.

Is the radiation from a sinus CT scan a concern?
In-office sinus scanners are designed to use a low dose for focused sinus imaging. Your provider only recommends a scan when the information will change your care, so the benefit is weighed against the small exposure.
No. The scan is done in the office, often the same visit, so there is no separate hospital trip. If your plan has specific requirements, your team can review them when you book.
The scan itself takes only a short time. Most of your visit is the exam beforehand and reviewing the images with your provider afterward.
Yes. Your ENT provider reviews the images with you during the visit, explains the findings, and discusses treatment options before you leave.
