About This Test
This HRCT scan of the inner ear, temporal bone, and mastoid evaluates bony and soft tissue structures in axial and coronal planes using contrast. Contrast enhances vascular structures and soft tissue abnormalities. It is indicated for patients with hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, infections, tumors, or trauma. High-resolution images provide detailed visualization of cochlea, semicircular canals, mastoid air cells, and surrounding soft tissues. The scan assists in diagnosis, surgical planning, and monitoring treatment outcomes. Non-invasive and fast, it provides critical anatomical and vascular information for effective management of otologic and temporal bone pathology.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
