Dr. Gul Moonis works in Boston, Massachusetts, at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center as a radiologist. In this position Dr. Gul Moonis interacts with patients who have health issues ranging from brain cancer to congenital hearing loss.
For parents, learning that a newborn has congenital hearing loss can be a frightening experience. Doctors have been aided by high resolution computed tomography scans (HRCT) in their diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss in children, as well as in older patients. Physicians can use HRCT scans to examine potential causes behind congenital hearing loss, such as external auditory canal atresia (EACA), middle ear anomalies, and variable inner ear anomalies. The HRCT scan is particularly effective as a diagnostic tool when it comes to evaluating preoperative patients who suffer from unilateral or bilateral congenital conductive hearing loss (CHL). Doctors serving preoperative patients who experience sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), on the other hand, can benefit from further diagnostic examinations provided by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
