Fasting and dietary instructions:

No special fasting needed. Avoid heavy fatty meals and alcohol the evening before as a general precaution.

What to bring:

Bring your doctor's prescription or test requisition, a valid photo ID, and your corporate health insurance card if using cashless OPD. Wear short sleeves or clothing with sleeves that roll up easily.

When does a doctor order CBCT SCAN?

CBCT SCAN is ordered when a doctor needs objective laboratory data to confirm a diagnosis, follow up a previously abnormal result, or complete a pre-operative assessment.

Who should get CBCT SCAN done in Kolkata?

Kolkata's 20 million metro population, monsoon infection burden, reported high hepatitis B prevalence, rice-heavy diet, and rising lifestyle disease rates make regular diagnostic testing an important preventive step for adults across every neighbourhood. CBCT SCAN is an imaging test commonly used in dental and head-and-neck evaluations. It is ordered when patients have persistent tooth or jaw pain, impacted or missing teeth, suspected fractures, chronic sinus problems, or when planning implants and jaw surgery. Those who benefit most from regular CBCT SCAN testing include adults above 40, people with sedentary lifestyles or BMI above 25, those managing chronic conditions, smokers, and anyone whose previous result was borderline. Early detection through regular testing in Kolkata is consistently more cost-effective than treating advanced disease.

What conditions can CBCT SCAN help diagnose?

The conditions diagnosable through CBCT SCAN depend on the specific markers the test measures. Results either confirm a suspected diagnosis, support a clinical suspicion requiring further investigation, or effectively exclude the condition the test was screening for.

What do CBCT SCAN results mean?

Neutrophil elevation: bacterial infection or steroid use. Lymphocyte elevation: viral infection. Eosinophil elevation: allergy or parasites. Neutropaenia (below 1,500/µL): urgent investigation required , may indicate bone marrow suppression or medication toxicity. A left shift (immature neutrophils): severe bacterial infection with high bone marrow demand.

How often should CBCT SCAN be repeated?

For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends , typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.

What happens after CBCT SCAN results are ready?

Once your results appear in your GetVisit profile, discuss them with your doctor or a GetVisit-verified specialist.
