[Computer tomography of the orbit].
CAT scanning of the orbit is greatly facilitated by the distinctly different absorption characteristics of the various orbital tissues. Intraorbital tumours can be defined accurately with respect to size, topographic position and extent. Differentiation between the benign or malignant character of orbital tumours is less well achieved by CAT scanning than by sonography; therefore sonography is needed as a complementary diagnostic modality.
