Spiral CT Scan Base of Skull Price in Bangladesh

What is Spiral CT Scan Base of Skull?

A spiral CT scan (also known as a helical CT scan) of the base of the skull is a specialized imaging procedure that uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the skull's base, including the bones, blood vessels, and surrounding tissues. The ""spiral"" or ""helical"" term refers to the continuous motion of the scanner, which allows for faster and more detailed images compared to traditional CT scans.

This scan is typically used to detect conditions such as fractures, tumors, infections, or abnormalities affecting the skull's base, such as the brainstem, sinuses, or cranial nerves. It is particularly useful in evaluating trauma, pathology, or congenital anomalies.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
