Does dental conebeam CT scan shows sinus
I have right lower jaw burning pain under ear, ear pain and fullness, neck pain for 5 months now. Went to an ENT. No sinus and ear infection. Went to dentist and he said it could be tmj or eagles syndrome. My physician said it might be neuralgia. No proper diagnosis yet. Ent ordered CT sinus scan to check any persistent intention and that's causing lower jaw pain under ear. My symptoms keep on increasing like, am hearing ringing and soft humming music sound in rightear while lying down since last month, constant feeling of something stuck in throat since 3 weeks, neck is so tight and stiff,sore pain on top of head on one spot above the ear. I saw a tmj specialist and took CBCT scan. He said it looks like jaw joint issue. But he is not sure why I have small lump on neck and burning pain in neck. He told me to try his treatment ( expensive) for few months and telling me to check neck later. I have to followup with ent. Whether this cbct scan shows sinus? I don't want to take another CT.

Cone beam CT ( CBCT) does show sinus very well with radiation dose around 1/15th of that of CT Nose PNS
