title: Evaluation of echography in orbital disease.
abstract: A report is given on a series of 34 patients with suspicion of orbital disease, who were examined by standardized echography. We compared the efficacy of standardized echography in orbital disease with CT and NMR and concluded that SE has not become less important since the introduction of CT and NMR. It can supplement CT and NMR and remains a valuable and indispensible guide for the management of orbital disease.
