The Sinus Center at Ohio ENT offers state-of-the-art testing and treatment modalities. Patients suffering from nasal or sinus problems will receive a thorough ear, nose, and throat examination and appropriate diagnostic testing.
Additional tests may include nasal endoscopy with culture, x-rays, or CT scan of the sinuses. If a CT scan is necessary, it may be done at The Sinus Center at Ohio ENT, which is integrated with our image guided sinus surgery equipment.
CT Scans at Ohio ENT
The desire for as little radiation exposure as possible lies at the heart of Siemens CARE philosophy, providing a wide range of dose-reduction solutions. The SOMATOM Definition AS provides tremendous benefit with the Adaptive Dose Shield technology, eliminating 
unnecessary over-radiation. With the SOMATOM product family, Siemens continuously develops innovations and solutions for maintaining ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guidelines and to integrate these developments into its systems for dose reduction and improvement in patient safety. Siemens' unique Adaptive Dose Shield addresses the issue by dynamically blocking the unnecessary dose before and after the spiral scan, ensuring that the only dose applied to the patient is dose that is clinically relevant. And CARE Dose 4D, Siemens' real time dose modulation, guarantees an unparalleled combination of maximum image quality at minimum dose for every patient in every spiral scan.
Furthermore, Siemens ultra fast ceramic (UFC) detector not only provides extremely short afterglow times, but it also improves dose efficiency, compared to previous generations of CT detectors, by 30 percent.

In an effort to improve patient safety even further, we will be installing a new CT scanner. This new scanner will provide the physicians with clearer results while reducing radiation exposure to our patients. Look for more information to come over the next few weeks.
