Orbital diagnosis and imaging.
A myriad of imaging modalities now exists to aid in the diagnosis of orbital disease.  Most of the recent advances in orbital diagnosis are based on refinements of established techniques, although several represent the application of new technology. Invasive techniques, such as orbital arteriography and venography, have been supplanted with computed tomography, which has become the mainstay of orbital diagnosis.  The use of magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of orbital pathology has also increased. Color Doppler, a recent development in ultrasonography, has now been applied to the eye and orbit.
