Experience Fast, Accurate Diagnosis With In-Office Sinus CT Imaging

When it comes to diagnosing sinus and ear, nose, and throat conditions, precision matters. That’s why Atlantic Ear, Nose & Throat offers same-day in-office CT imaging, a state-of-the-art diagnostic tool that provides high-resolution images of your sinus and nasal structures without the need for an outside referral.

This advanced imaging technology helps our board-certified ENT specialists identify the root cause of symptoms like chronic sinusitis, nasal obstruction, and ear pain—all in the comfort and convenience of our Central Florida offices in Lake Mary, Orange City, and DeLand. By offering same-day scans and immediate interpretation, we streamline the diagnostic process so treatment can begin sooner.

What Is In-Office Sinus CT Imaging?

In-office CT (computed tomography) imaging is a noninvasive, painless procedure that uses low-dose radiation to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the sinus cavities and surrounding structures. These images allow your ENT provider to visualize the anatomy of your sinuses with remarkable clarity—far more detail than a standard X-ray.

At Atlantic ENT, our imaging systems are specifically designed for ENT applications. The equipment captures 3D images in just seconds, minimizing your exposure to radiation while maximizing diagnostic accuracy. Results are available immediately, allowing your provider to review them during your appointment and discuss next steps without delay.

Benefits of Same-Day In-Office Sinus CT Imaging

Having CT imaging performed in our office provides several key advantages:

Immediate results and faster diagnosis – No need to schedule a separate hospital visit or wait for external reports.
Convenient, same-day service – Complete your scan and consultation in one appointment.
Lower radiation exposure – ENT-focused scanners use significantly less radiation than full-body hospital CT machines.
Comfortable experience – The compact, open design minimizes discomfort and anxiety.
Accurate diagnosis – High-resolution images allow your provider to identify even subtle sinus blockages or structural irregularities.
Streamlined care – Imaging, diagnosis, and treatment planning are handled under one roof for continuity and efficiency.

This comprehensive, patient-centered approach ensures that you receive the care you need quickly and comfortably.

Conditions Diagnosed With Sinus CT Imaging

CT imaging plays a vital role in diagnosing a wide range of ear, nose, and throat conditions. Your ENT provider may recommend an in-office CT scan if you are experiencing:

Chronic or recurrent sinus infections
Persistent nasal congestion or blockage
Facial pressure or sinus headaches
Deviated septum or nasal obstruction
Allergy-related sinus inflammation
Chronic ear infections or hearing loss
Throat, neck, or voice abnormalities

In addition to identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms, CT imaging also helps our specialists plan treatments such as balloon sinuplasty, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, or septoplasty with precision.

How the Procedure Works

The in-office CT imaging process is quick, simple, and entirely noninvasive.

Preparation – You’ll be comfortably seated while our team explains the procedure. No special preparation or sedation is required.
Scanning – The scanner gently rotates around your head, capturing images of your sinus and nasal structures in just 20–40 seconds.
Image Review – Your ENT specialist will review the results immediately and show you the images on-screen, explaining any findings in detail.
Treatment Planning – Based on the results, your provider will recommend the next steps for your care—whether that’s medication, a minimally invasive procedure, or additional evaluation.

Most patients describe the process as quick and comfortable, with no downtime afterward.

Why In-Office CT Imaging Matters

Traditionally, CT scans required patients to visit a hospital or imaging center—an often time-consuming process involving multiple appointments and longer wait times for results. At Atlantic ENT, we’ve eliminated those barriers by integrating advanced CT technology directly into our practice.

This approach means that our patients benefit from:

Faster diagnosis and treatment initiation
Reduced healthcare costs by avoiding hospital imaging fees
Fewer visits and less time away from work or family
Greater confidence through immediate results and face-to-face discussion with their ENT specialist

By offering same-day imaging, we’re able to provide the continuity and convenience that today’s patients deserve.
