CT Scan of Nasopharynx

A CT scan of the nasopharynx is a specialized imaging test that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed cross-sectional images of the nasopharynx, which is the area located behind the nose and above the throat. This test helps doctors evaluate abnormalities, such as tumors or infections, and may be recommended if you have symptoms like persistent nasal congestion, difficulty swallowing, or unexplained earaches. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and typically involves lying still on a table while the scanner rotates around you to capture the images.
