Orbital masses.
The "space approach" will be introduced as a means of analyzing orbital masses on imaging studies. Determination in which space an orbital mass resides, the character of its margin, the presence or absence of bony changes, and evidence of extension of the mass beyond the orbit often allows the radiologist to narrow the differential diagnosis and provides essential information to the ophthalmologist for definitive diagnosis and treatment planning.
