Computed tomography of the orbit with special emphasis on coronal sections: Part II. Pathological anatomy.
Visualization of orbital soft tissue structures by computed tomography in direct coronal and axial studies is extremely useful in diagnosis. Direct enlargement viewing of scans has disclosed minute anatomical details. This study reviews some of our experiences in the investigation of a variety of lesions within the orbit and attempts, in particular, to illustrate the value of direct coronal studies.
