title: Multimodality imaging of the orbit.
abstract: The role of imaging is well established in the evaluation of orbital diseases. Ultrasonography, Computed tomography and Magnetic resonance imaging are complementary modalities, which allow direct visualization of regional anatomy, accurate localization and help to characterize lesions to make a reliable radiological diagnosis. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to highlight the imaging features of commonly encountered pathologies which involve the orbit.
