title: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the orbital apex.
abstract: This article describes the CT and MR appearance of the orbital apex and masses in this region. The sectional anatomy by axial, coronal, and sagittal planes as well as the thin-layer technique used to accomplish this is detailed first. Then the application of these techniques to the presence of tumors is illustrated and discussed.
