Sinus CBCT Scan in Chicago — Mobile Paranasal CT at Your Practice.

Who uses sinus CBCT

Paranasal sinus CBCT serves two distinct referral communities: dental practices planning posterior maxillary implants that may require sinus augmentation, and ENT specialists evaluating sinus anatomy for medical management or surgical planning.

• Oral surgeons and periodontists planning sinus lift procedures (lateral window or crestal)
• Implantologists evaluating posterior maxillary implant site feasibility
• ENT specialists performing pre-operative FESS planning or evaluating chronic rhinosinusitis anatomy
• General dentists screening for sinus pathology coincident with a dental CBCT
• Allergists and sleep medicine physicians requiring upper airway anatomical context

Clinical use cases

• Sinus lift pre-operative planning: residual bone height from alveolar crest to sinus floor, sinus width, mucosal thickness, and antral septa — all relevant to surgical approach selection
• Mucosal thickening evaluation: bilateral maxillary sinus mucosal changes detected in three planes — relevant to implant pre-op and ENT assessment
• Ostiomeatal complex anatomy: three-dimensional anatomy of the OMC — relevant for FESS planning and anatomical variant assessment
• Sinus opacification and air-fluid levels: complete or partial opacification findings documented for clinical review
• Anatomical variants: Haller cells, concha bullosa, Onodi cells, deviated septum, and other variants that may affect surgical planning

Why mobile CBCT is practical for sinus imaging

• 30–60 times lower dose than hospital CT: approximately 50 µSv versus 1,500 µSv or more for a conventional hospital sinus CT, depending on protocol — appropriate for pre-operative dental planning and many ENT evaluations
• No hospital referral for dental cases: posterior maxillary implant planning requires sinus data — getting that data from a mobile CBCT at your practice eliminates a separate hospital or radiology referral for most dental cases
• DICOM in 15 minutes: same-visit data for treatment planning and patient education on sinus anatomy and implant site feasibility
• ENT same-day workflow: ENT practices can use mobile CBCT as an in-office imaging option for patients who need sinus anatomy before committing to a FESS workup — reducing hospital scheduling burden

All imaging requires a prescription from a licensed dentist or physician. Clinical interpretation of sinus findings and treatment planning decisions are the responsibility of the referring clinician. CBCT resolution and soft tissue contrast differ from hospital CT — the appropriateness of CBCT versus conventional CT for a specific ENT case is determined by the referring physician. Results may vary depending on scan protocol and clinical context.
