title: Direct coronal computed tomography of the orbits employing a dedicated head scanner.
abstract: A number of articles have been written on the topic of orbital computed tomography (CT), most of which have emphasized transaxial sections. Recently, especially since whole body scanners have become widely distributed, numerous articles have been written on coronal sections of the orbits. This article discusses the method of obtaining coronal CT sections of the orbits employing a dedicated head scanner and demonstrates the results that can be obtained employing this technique.
