CT Scan of Left Ear/Mastoid Price in Bangladesh

What is CT Scan of Left Ear/Mastoid?

A CT scan of the left ear and mastoid is used to evaluate the ear, surrounding structures, and detect issues like infections, tumors, or bone abnormalities. The procedure involves lying on a table while a CT machine takes detailed X-ray images of the ear area.

No special preparation is usually needed, but you may be asked to remove metal objects. Risks are minimal but include radiation exposure.

During the scan, you may need to stay still. Results are interpreted based on tissue changes or abnormalities.

Conditions like prior ear surgery or implants may affect image quality. Your doctor will explain the findings

What to expect & how to prepare

A CT scanner takes many X-ray images from different angles and combines them into cross-sectional pictures. You lie on a table that moves through a ring-shaped scanner.

• Contrast: some CT studies use an iodine-based contrast injection and some do not. If contrast is planned, the centre may ask you to avoid food for a few hours and to bring a recent kidney function report.
• Tell the staff: mention kidney disease, diabetes medicines such as metformin, asthma, previous reaction to contrast, or any allergy before the scan.
• Metal: jewellery and metallic items in the scan area are removed; you may be asked to change into a gown.
• Fasting: a plain CT without contrast normally needs no fasting — confirm with the centre which type is booked for you.

CT uses ionising radiation, at a higher dose than a plain X-ray. Tell the staff if you are pregnant or think you might be, so the request can be reviewed.

Performed by a radiology team, normally on a doctor's request.
