Orbital imaging: Part 1. Normal anatomy.
Advanced imaging techniques enable the radiologist to detect an increasing number of structures within the orbit not previously identifiable. We describe the imaging techniques and orbital anatomy with an emphasis on radiologically identifiable structures. In a second review of orbital pathology we present pathological processes that may involve these structures.
