An InstaTrak CT refers to a CT or CAT scan, usually of the sinuses, which is done prior to performing a sinus surgery in which the surgeon will use the InstaTrak Surgical Navigation System. Although the majority of CT scans for the InstaTrak are done for sinus surgery, some Neurosurgeons will order a CT scan for a brain surgery. This is usually rare because for most brain surgeries, the surgeon will utilize an MRI scan with The InstaTrak which will typically show the detail of the softer brain tissues better for the surgeon.
