CHICAGO NASAL & SINUS CENTER is able to offer in-office CT imaging using the Xoran MiniCAT™ Compact CT scanner. Specifically designed for sinus imaging, the MiniCAT™ is able to provide high-definition 3-D images to visualize small anatomic structures, sinus drainage pathways and sinus disease. Unlike conventional full-body CT scanners, patients sit upright in a chair, without any enclosure that might induce claustrophobia. The MiniCAT™ provides high quality images in just 10-20 seconds, with much lower radiation exposure than conventional scanners. In-office CT imaging allows patients to see their scan immediately, and this helps them understand their condition as well as their treatment options.
