title: Orbital trauma and computed tomography.
abstract: Because computed tomography visualizes most soft tissues, foreign bodies, and bone details, it is an important supplement to conventional radiography in evaluating orbital trauma. A series of eight cases is presented to demonstrate the value of computed tomography. Several special techniques that enhance the usefulness of computed tomographic scanning are described.
