Deviated Septum -Diagnosis And Treatment

CT Scan

Computed tomography or a CT scan is a procedure in which multiple X-ray images are translated and converted by a computer into a 3D image. This enables a doctor to check for growth, injury, or organ from various angles. Compared to other imaging tests, this option can provide a more insightful result without the need for more invasive interventions. Your doctor can suggest a CT scan to look for abnormal nasal structures caused by a deviated septum. However, there are certain possible side effects, including vomiting, nausea, constipation, abdominal cramps, dizziness, coughing, runny nose, itching, rash, or flushing.[3]
