How Are ENT Conditions Diagnosed?
ENT conditions are diagnosed through a series of investigations, scans, and tests to ensure an understanding of your symptoms and their underlying causes.
Physical Examination
A thorough examination of the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck to identify any visible abnormalities or signs of concern.
Audiological Tests
These tests assess hearing capabilities, identifying the type and extent of hearing loss to tailor appropriate treatment strategies. You will be referred for this through the appropriate channels.
Imaging Tests
Techniques like CT scans, MRIs, or X-rays provide detailed images of the structures within the head and neck to aid diagnosis. You will be referred for these through the appropriate channels.
Endoscopy
A small camera views the internal structures of the nasal passages, throat, or voice box, offering a detailed assessment to identify any issues.
Biopsy
In cases where a tumour or growth is suspected, a biopsy may be performed to determine the nature of the condition and the most effective treatment approach. You will be referred for this through the appropriate channels.
