Ophthalmologic applications of computed tomography in nonhuman primates.
The orbital contents of 28 baboons are defined by computed tomography (CT), which provides a simple, reliable, reproducible, and accurate technique for the experimental investigation of the orbit of the nonhuman primate. This method is applied to the diagnosis of exophthalmos. The suprasellar and other basal subarachnoid cisterns are precisely delineated using intrathecal enhancement prior to CT imaging (metrizamide CT cisternography).
